Concept :
The idea of stiffness a slender wooden block was tried to achieved by using steel cables and wooden interlock, where tensegrity of steel is seen. Various iterations of the cables with the block were made.

Stage 1 (Process) : Steel cables attached at the top of every column that connects a column with another forming the roof fails, as the column will experience an anti-gravity force which will inturn disconnect the anchored column.

Stage 2 (Final design) : Wooden slender beams would connect each column and steel cables would be attached to the ground as shown below.
