How do I model a wooden grid structure like this?

Hi everyone, first time revit user here. I'm working on a university project and would like to model these wooden grid-like structures in my design, as you can see in the photos, like Sou Fujimoto and Kengo Kuma.

I have attached two photos of my model so far, and the tall grey walls are supposed to represent where these wooden grids will be. I want there to be 'walls' and well as 'ceilings/beams' overhead of these grids, where the grey walls are. As you can see, I have both straight walls as well as a curved/circular wall at the centre, that I want to be made all out of the wooden grids. Any advice on how to model this would be greatly appreciated!

The "proper" way, would be individual columns and beams, but that would be very time consuming. Using walls, they only way i can think of would be a lot of wall openings. Note, doing it with walls mean everything would be the same thickness, as described by the wall. Curtain wall systems could be an interesting alternative.
