This is another brave group of students. They studied one of the most interesting materials in this year’s Basic Design studio. They tested the structural capacities and nearly all possibilities of thin Bamboo sticks. Unfortunately, they lost most of the prototypes, and one of them was a beautiful structural tripod. In the final assembly, they managed to span the required distance by attaching bamboo sticks using plastic fasteners. Below are some of the photos from the final day. The sequence of joining the stripes is making it much more structural than single components. Therefore they seem to understand the logic behind this project.

However, the structure started to slump down after the first week, as most of the wooden projects faced this fate.
