Bamboo Structures: Using bamboo as an alternative material in construction.

This session will examine our hands-on Bamboo Tensegrity Pavilion experience that we’ve carried out in partnership with Dr Andry Widyowijatnoko and colleagues from Institute Technology of Bandung in Indonesia as part of the Royal Academy of Engineering funded project.

Students from architecture, engineering and construction courses at LSBU joined forces to give a helping hand to build this pavilion in three days. This session will also discuss the opportunity and challenges in using bamboo within UK’s climate.

Session lead: Jennifer Hardi, Course Director, BSc Architectural Engineering and BSc Architectural Technology, School of Built Environment & Architecture, LSBU.
