What kind of branching L-systems can be an optimal structure?

I am designing a building with several 3D branching L-systems as structure, and I have some questions here, please help me, thanks.

1 What kind of 3D L-systems can be considered as an optimal structure, and why?

2 If you know the answer to the 1st question, would you please give me a grasshopper definition to show me how to work out?

my email is joyceshun@gmail.com, thanks again!

Well, here's a couple case study projects, not exactly L-systems but related.

"Optimal structure" is a very relative type of description depending on many other factors besides the geometric basis of the structural system.

Good luck.

Hi, Taz

Thanks very much for your suggestion and I have read the article, and the article provides me some new perspectives. However, I have decide to do some kind of structure like trees, so I really need some one to show me some examples of "tree" structure.

Cheers,

Joyce

Hello,

I know it is quite an old post but did you find any solution to your problem?
I am looking in creating a tall tree like structure for a tower and it has been rather tricky with a lot of scattered information.
Thank you.

Christos
