When you use nicely shaped triangles, the triangles naturally get smaller where the area of the truss gets tighter, corresponding to the zone with the biggest flow of forces.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Intuitively sketched trusses placing members to create field of centers were almost at once confirmed efficient by finite element analysisfinding0.769
  Key empirical result showing that aesthetic/structural intuition guided by living-center logic produces mechanically efficient designs.
• The very same positive space which creates a truss's beauty also creates its structural stability and good structural behavior.claim0.761
  Direct connection between aesthetic quality and engineering performance.
• In a controlled geometric comparison, subdividing a rectangle asymmetrically with a thin band of space between the four resulting rooms produces a more profound form — with more levels of scale, boundaries, and centers — than simply cutting it into four equal parts.finding0.753
  The geometric demonstration that asymmetrical subdivision with boundary bands creates more living structure
• Finite element analysis of first curved truss showed huge shears at base and excessive moments in curvesfinding0.740
  First step of finite element analysis on a curved tracery truss revealed bad structural behavior.
• Perfectly triangulated scissors truss had low bending moments and shears, all within capacityfinding0.736
  The efficient triangulated model showed excellent structural behavior.
• Good shape arises in many natural systems such as leaves, bones, and Chladni patterns, where a strong center is intensified by minor centers.claim0.731
• It is, indeed, this pattern of the middle-sized entities, which most strongly gives overall geometric order to the building. Without it, a building is very unlikely to be beautiful.claim0.730
  Identifies the pattern of middle-range entities as the primary source of overall geometric order and beauty
• In a well-made chisel, the geometric centers correspond exactly to the centers of action, and they help each other.claim0.729
  Illustrates how functional excellence is achieved through mutual intensification of centers.
