Following up on Axel's comment about bringing the technical analysis results back into the design of the form, two of the (many) approaches you could take are:
1)inverting the deflected shapes so as to arrive at more compression-controlled structural elements;
and/or
2)using the undeflected and deflected shapes to define trusses rather than beams (which have the potential to form a space, not just support the loads/program.)

As I discussed with Axel on Friday, it might be helpful for you to approach your study of Decon by means of comparisons. That is, if you're searching for parametric/associative or other generative rules for defining Deconstructivist forms, you can also look at rules for Constructivist, or Modernist, or other formal languages, and explore how changing those rules might give you the rules you want.
Of course, it's important for the purpose of this course (since the time is so short) that you work with a fairly simple design, just complex enough to be recognizably belonging to the language you're working in, but not requiring too many rules, so that you can easily test variations (both within the rules, and variations of the rules) and reach some conclusions about the question you're researching.
The rules can be expressed both in words and diagrams, to aid you in modeling and/or scripting them.

... also, the survey can help you get more information about the color effects/interpretations you're reading in the literature - for example, whether a significant number of people agree with those, and how those who may disagree react (or at least describe their reactions.)
This type of feedback may then help you in refining your designs.

Since you have these relatively simple relationships between the pipes' height, width (&length) and reflectivity, you might also try making some diagrammatic and spreadsheet-based studies to get a feeling for how the system works. You could use such studies to guide your modeling in Dialux, and/or to quickly compare results of changing a parameter such as W or r. (It's not so easy for H, since if the heights of the pipes and rooms are linked, the effect of the room height on distribution of light also becomes a factor.)

Regarding your next steps, I would suggest that creating a program for the building at this stage may be too time-consuming (and not necessarily consistent, since the program should also have influenced the shape and orientation of the project.) Instead, you might try just defining some general goals for the light to be made available inside (...with energy loss and/or generation addressed later, if there's time.)
Examples would be:
1) uniform lighting of floor surface;
2) more intense light at center of floor;
3) more intense light at edges of floor;
4) more intense at one end, less at other;
Just these simply stated goals (even without specific, numeric illuminance level requirements) can be quite challenging to achieve, especially at differing times of day and days of year.
