Differentiating through an increase in weaving members towards the centre, strengthen the building frame where it lifts from the ground. Load is distributed to both sides of the building and into the ground. An optimised structural concept leads thus to a minimised use of material through improvement of organisation and form. A third possible iteration could differentiate individual member strength through difference in diameter/lenght ratio.

Agree with your ideas concerning "optimization" of structural system. One more idea could be to have a structural system which in not only a shell but a space truss, i.e. the wall thickness will be something like those in the Watecube...
The thought of a spatial structural system has a lot of potential..., also in regards to thermal/sustainable strategies. I will work with the idea...
