Also, from the outside it does seem to be concentric and homogeneous.

Perhaps you have some construction pictures also? I would think there would have been several temporary supports needed until the entire structure was complete and able to hold itself together. My first thought? This structure is screaming for a geodesic roof of some sort - how cool would that be?!? :-) I really like this! Very impressive Mr Wilder!

Unfortunately there were two good reasons. principally the decking is structural. The other was budget, although even with more money the aesthetic would have improved but the structure may not have passed inspection. Ideally i would liked to have ommited the floor altogether, but then it becomes a death trap and a public liability nighmare, albeit a very beautiful one. If you have a spare £180,000 I will do you one with a concentric floor. Hello Brian, yes it is a shame that the decking was not concentric also.

The photos make me want to visit, walk around it and experience the shapes, shadows and moire effects. But I'm not sure I'm keen on squashing my face between the uprights to get a view of the countryside. And I think this is reflected in the artist decription - no mention of 'pavilion', 'look out', etc. It is very alluring as a piece of art.
