Bamboo Flow

Bamboo Flow showcases a dynamic surface with flowing curves. Pre-bent bamboos construct the main lines as well as the overall structure of the work. Without any additional structural bodies, this work challenges the traditional bamboo craftsmanship by using the digital design process in the field of architecture to imitate the natural lines presented by bending and blending bamboo materials, aiming to infuse modern design vocabularies into traditional bamboo material and to integrate the texture and modern style of bamboos. Flexible nets with different levels of tensile strength are used in the in-between spaces to create semi-hollowed-out surface. In the lower areas near the ground, high-tensile nets are used to create opportunities for bodily interactions so that viewers may sit or lie on the nets, while in the higher area, low-tensile nets form a roof resembling a pavilion where people can take a break underneath. Flowing bamboos invited audiences to stay and have intimate interactions.
