"Nature Force" is a structurally integrated project based on the idea of "smart design + smart construction". 

First, we designed the original parameters (position, scale, space, etc.) of each structure element according to functional and structural thinking. Then we optimized those parts (table, chair, pillar, roof ) to make all of it a united structural system (just like Leaves, branches, trunks, and roots). Last but not the least, we used Ameba to do the BESO analysis to figure out the most reasonable state of all the bearing elements, and thereby generated the skeleton of this pavilion. This research is focusing on the combination of the advantages of BESO (designing part) and Additive Manufacture (for example, architectural level robotic 3D printing, Construction part), and the possibility of Advanced Architecture Design-Construction Workflow which is super different from traditional construction methods.
