Lightning protection

I'm thinking along the lines of artificial tree canopy. The supporting struts are shaped a bit like branches of a tree. The canopy structure is undulating using catenary curves to form a forest canopy shape. Perhaps they will be training vegetation to climb over the structure. There is a movement to put vertical “forests” on buildings along with planting roof spaces so this may be a similar idea but on a grand scale.

The only bit I'm not sure about is the very straight “walkway” that doesn't fit with the above theory.

For lightning protection I'd stick with a decent pointy conductor with big copper earth straps to ground by the shortest path.
