Workshop | Bamboo Construction
Future Cities Laboratory | ETH Zurich
Having chosen Prof. Dirk Hebel’s Cambodian School Project for my 5th semester of Bachelor at ETH Zurich, I decided to take part in the Bamboo Workshop organized by the Future Cities Laboratory. It was a unique opportunity to understand the countless possibilities offered by this material, widely available in South-East Asia. We dedicated a week to designing two pavilions exploring numerous constructive properties of this plant. In order to reuse and recycle the workshop material, every construction detail should allow for disassembly.
Guided by experts in bamboo constructions, we sought to develop very distinct tectonics for each structure and challenged ourselves to limit the use of additional material to the bare minimum: rope and metal sticks.
