“The architect did not really want columns in the forest, just nature. This would pose a problem with the building part above the forest. This is why the “milk maid” principle was suggested. In the way Dutch milkmaids would transport two buckets of milk using a yoke on their shoulders, the building would be supported on a central point in the centre. In such a situation, stability is gained by tightening a firm cable in the four corners. In the same fashion, the oyster layer was also stabilized.”
