Enjoyed playing around with this - 1*1m disc woven from bamboo splits. The hole weave design is something I've seen women in the hilltribe area of thailand. Getting the bamboo splits into a reasonable circle was a challenge!

Take a closer look at the structural model for a custom bamboo carport I’m building in Thailand.

This model is a key part of the design process, helping visualize the carport’s load-bearing structure, proportions, and flow before full-scale construction begins.

In the face of such a beautiful thing I can only bow down and offer my humble respects. What a thing! Awesome. by @jorge_luis_veliz_quintana

I've bought a few trays and suchlike lately made of bamboo, which seems to be a quality material in that scale, and wonder if is also a somewhat ignored (in Australia) material for building construction? This claims so

How to bend bamboo? There are two methods, but there are also strength considerations.

A deep dive on my website - www.willcottrellart.com/how-to-bend-...

For architects working with natural materials, this technique could mean stronger spans, fewer reinforcements, and more elegant forms.

Classic Ibuku design - this circular door at #BambooIndah is made from split halus —finely split bamboo, laminated and curved into a perfect circle.⁠

A great example of natural materials + design can elevate everyday elements into something magical.⁠

Life of a Thai Hyperbolic Paraboloid. I made this about four months ago — it’s roughly 4m square and still sits perky as ever, like it’s reaching up toward the tree behind it.

A few weeks ago I went down to the local bamboo carpenters near my house in Thailand. I asked if they could drill me some holes. They looked at me in some confusion—they didn’t have a drill! Instead, they did this. Awesome.

Made this yesterday. No idea what it is… but I kind of like it. Feels like it could be something bigger—imagine it on a vast scale, the top hoops covered in white fabric, forming some kind of wild temple or shelter.

Exploring the bamboo dome at Bamboo U 🌿 This is a model for the full-sized 20m structure and inspired a lot of my own design ideas. Filmed in the surroundings of the beautiful kitchen at Bamboo U, Bali.

View from a Bamboo Masterpiece
This is the downriver view from Jörg Stamm’s iconic bamboo bridge at @greenschoolbali. No steel. No concrete.

Stamm is a bamboo pioneer — his work is a masterclass in structural understanding.

A great example of organic architecture by renowned bamboo design firm Ibuku. This one spotted at Alchemy Yoga, just outside Ubud, Bali.

Ooh - the sweet curve of a rising hyperbolic paraboloid. This is the coffee shop at Bali's @alchemyyogaubud
