Overview
Over the Advanced Design Studio for Full-Culm Bamboo course from Architectural Association there will be a series of design exercises which will contribute to the development of a project, supported by lectures from tutors and ecologists, architects and engineers in this field.
We will learn about bamboo harvesting, treatments and locally available species. We will learn about traditional and innovative construction methods, durability by design and joinery with full-culm bamboo and embed this knowledge into our design process.
This course provides a base for participants to be designers and advocates for wider global bamboo use in their future work.
Skills Developed
- Bamboo material characteristics and principles of building with bamboo.
- Lectures to understand principles and details of bamboo joint systems for full-culm bamboo
- Physical bamboo model making.
- Concept design process to consider the practicalities of bio-based materials.
- Individual and group research portfolio for the latent local bamboo resources of a particular site.
- Lecture series of experimental bamboo constructions and the exploration of new structural applications for bamboo.
- Research into societal attitudes to bamboo in construction and methods to address these through architectural design.
Programme Structure
- From initial physical model making, we will then translate these physical models into the computer and we will follow a generative design approach to develop projects with tools such as Kangaroo, Ladybug and Galapagos.
- We will aim to produce a design and algorithm which can respond to the external factors which can ensure durability and buildability into these designs for bamboo.
