5 1. DEFINITION: Reciprocal frame structure

6 1. Concept: Tree like structure Treeform architecture is based on natural forms such as where a tree's foliage serves as the roof. The branches and trunk are the support structure.

7 1. Concept: Tree like structure Branched supports are flat or spatial structural systems which consist of separate branches, each one of which forks out at a specific point (knot) into at least two other branches. Such structures can be subjected to tension, to compression, to flexion and to torsion.

8 1. Concept: Tree like structure Tree structures provide an efficient way to transfer large surface loads to a single point on the ground.

9 1. Concept: Tree like structure The use of branched structures enables the use of thinner structural members and covering larger spans (Otto, F. and Rasch, B., 1995).
