Building with bamboo – Against the backdrop of dwindling resources, bamboo has (again) become an interesting raw material for construction in recent years. With renewal cycles of around 5 years, bamboo can score highly as a fast-growing alternative to wood.
In this design, the material-specific properties are to be realised in a design for a light/temporary/mobile construction and developed using models.
The planned structure should span or connect spaces (e.g. as a canopy, pavilion or bridge) and be able to change spatially. Intelligent design principles, optimised load-bearing structures and the combination with other lightweight construction methods such as membranes should enable the structure to be flexible, change and thus adapt to different spatial or environmental requirements.
Further development is planned for the summer semester with the Institute of Materials Technology, Building Physics and Building Ecology in cooperation with the Experimental Building Construction module, from prototypes to real-scale implementation.
