This article researches the determination of the equilibrium conditions of Variable Geometry Surfaces defined by Reciprocal Frame Structures by means of a study of the acting force field and the locus that describe the elements of these structures through the different states of transformation. It is established, through the development of a mathematic-parametric formulation, geometric and structural properties of an equal cylindrical three-bar Reciprocal Frame Node, with the objective of deducing the balance mechanism for obtaining the stabilization systems of Variable Geometry Surfaces made up of Transformable Reciprocal Frame Structures. The aim of this research is the application of the said stabilization system by means of a newly created structural-geometric software, to the design and calculation of different transformable geometry typologies of architectural surfaces
