there's a cool book called Anatomy Trains that analyzes the elements of the human body as forming a tensegretic structure, rather than a compression structure. So don't think of all the bones stacking on top of each other like stone, but instead being held in constant tension by muscles and ligaments. Also in the introduction it shows you how to make a tensegretic tetrahedron out of chopsticks and rubber bands. Pretty good stuff.
