Ever wanted to make a bamboo building but don’t know where to start? We always begin with a structural system in mind! 💭 . There are several structural systems for designing with bamboo… Here are 3 of our favorites with some buildings built by Bamboo U at Green Camp, here in Bali. . - Hyperbolic paraboloids - as seen in the Bamboo Hall - Gridshells - As you can see in the Pool Pods - Hyperbolic towers - like we used in the Princess Tower . Have you heard of any of these structural systems befor

We often get asked what software we use to digitally design our bamboo structures, so today we’re giving you a peek into our toolkit! 🛠️ When designing a bamboo structure, we go through three main steps. Each step uses a different software tool to craft and communicate our ideas: 1️⃣ 3D Modeling: To model our bamboo structures, we use Rhinoceros 3D (often called Rhino). It gives us flexibility in design and allows us to model at multiple scales with precision 2️⃣ Parametric Design: To quickly i
