Fuller pioneered tensegrity as a structural and philosophical concept, creating three dimensional geometric constructions that balance tension and compression forces in ways directly parallel to Snelson's maquette. Both artists shared an obsession with efficient structural equilibrium expressed through minimal aluminum and steel forms.

Rickey created precision engineered kinetic sculptures in stainless steel that explore geometric abstraction and spatial relationships through carefully balanced structural elements, closely mirroring the tensile equilibrium and minimalist aesthetic present in Snelson's work. His constructivist sensibility and use of metal components to investigate motion and balance align directly with this maquette.

Bill produced geometric abstract sculptures in aluminum and steel that investigate mathematical spatial relationships and constructivist principles, sharing the same modernist vocabulary of precise form and structural logic seen in Snelson's maquette. His work bridges theoretical geometric investigation and three dimensional physical form in a manner highly consistent with this piece.
