Interesting architecture

I designed and modeled this tower in Autocad. It is comprised of multiple identical rigid structures, no two of which are in direct contact with one another. Cables and turnbuckles join them into a rigid structure which, as illustrated by the horizontal tower mounted to the wall, is rigid in any orientation.

A similar structure, designed by one of the most innovative designer/engineer/architect/philosophers of the 20th century, was built to be used as an rf transmission tower.

A well known late 20th century artist used these design principles to create a series of sculptures.

Whose work is this tower based on?

Who is the artist mentioned?
