Designer Nature
Nature is the primitive but the most improved design system that provides optimal conditions for life. Therefore centuries long human civilization must and going to take advantage of milleniums long natural heritage, along its way to reach the optimum. Therefore, Nature's Optima should be the inspiration for design.

Wire Structure
Natural based fibers cannot bare compression when constructed to a rope. To challenge ropes' ability to form a structure - resist gravitational force and stand up carrying its own weight - a synthetic based rope is proposed to be used as a structure. The rope contains braided steel in the core and a plastic shell around it.
Steel itself is a structural material, but braiding steel fibers perform mostly as a tensile element. Its little compressive resistance is used.
The shape of the sturcture consists of two circular parts, each transferring the tension to anchoring point on the ground. Its own light weight is carried by its low compressive strength. The horizontal loads on the structure (wind or vibrations) is absorbed by little vibrations of the elastic part. The wind loads are reduced to minimum since the overall surface area facing the wind is little, and the tubular structure is optimum to resist wind (almost all of the tube receives the wind with low angles - not perpendicularly-, except the middle filament of the longitudenal section.
