| Summary: | Sustainable Development Goals have become a key factor in the design in the twenty-first century. The relationship between the architectural and structural systems is becoming a matter of relevance for sustainable design. The search for minimum material consumption can be seen by drawing inspiration from the solutions found in Nature. The high efficiency of natural forms, has become a contribution to research on tree-like structures. The purpose of the research was to identify the main aspects of arboreal supporting structures shaping and optimization at the early state of design. The methodology is to optimize the geometry of dendriforms, based on optimizing the shape of the bending moment diagram and adjusting it to the shape of the final bar structure. The primary conclusion of the studies indicates that the structural and architectural optimization, implemented in an early stage of designing might significantly improve material consumption without substantial changes in architectural appearance.
