DESIGN + PROGRAM
MAIN TOPICS ::
BAMBOO TAXONOMY: material definition and characteristics.
BAMBOO VALUE CHAIN: Planting, propagation and potentials >> Treatment techniques and transformations
BAMBOO ARCHITECTURE: Architecture and infrastructure >> Traditional, Experimental and contemporary architecture/engineering with bamboo
OTHER BAMBOO CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES: Bahareque (Waddle and daub)+ material exploration
PROGRAMATIC NEEDS ::
The design consists of a 30 square meter structure to serve as a kiosk, with the following elements and program:
- space for relaxation and hammock
- built-in work table
- built-in indoor or outdoor seating
- “green wall” (using bamboo pots- part of art and crafts)
- wind block
- roof with operable openings
- overhang/overlook
- chimeney
