The subject of this paper is a nature-driven digital architectural form-finding of a small-scale pavilion made of bi-pyramidal tensegrities covered in a textile membrane. Inspired by nature, we propose to create architecture as an organism that evolves based on ambient influences. Within the form-finding process, digital software, such as Grasshopper for parametric designing, plug-ins such as Karamba 3D for structural analysis, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation plug-in Butterfly for Grasshopper are employed. The wind force and the resulting wind surface pressure influence the specific spatial configuration of the pavilion structure and are the main form-influencing factor affecting the attachment of new layers of tensegrities. The structural performance is tested recursively, with the influence of the 8.5 and 26 m/s wind velocity, the corresponding overall deflection of the pavilion's structure, and the shape optimization in one design loop. Only the best-performing option is subsequently analyzed in the 26 m/s wind employing CFD simulation. The proposed design process is presented through a case study in Košice, specifically on the site of the Technical University campus.
