You can bend wood after steaming it. If it is something like a scale model that you want to build, you can steam the wood in a pressure cooker with a very little amount of water, and a kind of grid above it to support your sticks.

If it is a full size tower you want to build, start with Wikipedia for info on trusses : Truss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
