Commonly found in natural creatures, both of the Lindenmayer System(L-System) and the Voronoi Matrix have extremely strong and efficient structures that are developed over millions of years. L-System has been used to describe the behavior of plant cells and to model the growth process of plant development. It is a parallel rewriting system consists of an initial string and a set of production rules for specifying how the symbols in a string are rewritten as(replaced by) strings. It is also self-similar mathematically and by controlling the number of generations, the system has potential to grow infinitively. Voronoi as a visual representation language in this design is advanced in space partition into regions such that all locations within any one region are closer to the generating point than to any other. It transfer loads efficiently and allows minimal deformation as well.
Project Vorotree was made in seeking for a self-develops structural system that is constantly optimizing itself along the process of form-finding. The proposal provides a logical solution to redefine a space by using voronoi cells that are generated by the point clouds extracted out of a controlled L-System structure. The structure of Vorotree will always remain in a mathematical equilibrium at any point of its form-finding process. Therefore, in a much larger scale, it is also ideal for robotic fabrication without complicated setups and supporting structures on field. Beyond the visual achievement, in an architectural scale, this design theory can be used to create multi-floors building that is always capable of expanding with more units without reconfiguring structural loads and paths.

經過千百萬年地演變，自然界中常見的林登梅爾系統（林氏系統）和3D沃羅諾伊組織都擁有極其堅韌和高效的結構。林氏系統被用於描述植物細胞的交互作用和模擬植物的生長過程。它是一種並行重複邏輯，包含一個初始字符串和一系列邏輯演算指令。這些指令詳細地闡述初始字符如何被重寫或替代。通過控制遞歸的層數，林氏系統的自相似性使其具備自我無限繁衍的能力。作為這個設計中的視覺表達工具，沃羅諾伊組織是一種圍繞空間中不同的點以最鄰近原則為基準的高等空間分割法則。沃羅諾伊組織在有效轉移負荷的同時，其結構變形也微乎其微。
雕塑“沃羅樹”的設計初衷在於探索一種可邊自我繁衍成型邊自動優化的物理結構。新的邏輯方案運用由林氏系統結構中提取出的點陣以生成沃羅諾伊組織來重新定義空間。“沃羅樹”的物理結構在其自我繁衍的任何階段都會保持在數理均衡。因此當運用在大型雕塑或裝置藝術上時，這種結構不需要複雜的場地設置或支撐結構就可以完美地適用於全自動機械化的裝配建模。除視覺衝擊之外，在建築設計領域，“沃羅樹”的設計理論還可以被用於建造無需重新計算已建房屋的結構負荷及負荷路徑便可隨時擴建其規模的複合建築。
