For the Beijing Design Week 2015 the architects explored the power of a true ecological, modular Building Tool. This bamboo building is entirely made out of bamboo and ropes. Needless to say: Bamboo is a fantastic material, which currently leads a underrated existence in the architectural process of construction.
According to the artists: ” No nails or screws were is used for the structure and all materials are 100% recyclable. Furthermore the Bamboo does not get drilled in the process. All joints are tied with ropes, which leaves the materials unharmed so it can be reused after the installation. We see our project strongly connected to the ‘Cradle to Cradle’ movement, which proposes a holistic economic, industrial and social framework that seeks to create systems which are not only self-sufficient, but also essentially waste-free. Last but not least, the Pavilion for the Beijing Design Week was constructed with a ‘do it yourself’ approach by our incredible team of pendas, in order to gain a better insight of the structural behaviour to design larger developments for the system. ”
