Hard to say without knowing the material covered in the course. However, it could be referring to Robert Hooke:
As hangs a flexible cable so, inverted, stands a rigid arch.
Which describes a way to find the funicular form for an arch by inverting the shape of a hanging cable under the same loading. In other words, experimental form finding!
