ARTIFACT<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n Summary Statement: WHAT<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The aim of this thesis is to design a Foldable Bamboo Architecture. It is a different structural typology which constitute of bamboo as the main flexible structure. Inspired by the origami, the structure should be lightweight, foldable ,durable, strong, and be transported easily and installed quickly.<\/p>\n The site I chose is a county named AnJi which located near to Shanghai. It is a famous tourist country and famous for its beautiful landscape of bamboo that can be found all over the mountains. In addition, Anji is also famous for its production of bamboo such as the artifact of bamboo and bamboo board. They have become one of the important financial resources of the government. Anji attracts More and more tourist from the everywhere who want to enjoy the country life. In the busy season, Lots of museum, hotels and restaurant are need to serve the tourist. While in the off-peak season, these kind of architecture will be vacant. For this reason, the architecture should be flexible so suit different situation.<\/p>\n Therefore, the foldable bamboo architecture could be a flexible architecture which become the temporary hotel or the house in the places of interest. They could be transported by truck easily and become a new image of the bamboo mountains.<\/p>\n WHY<\/p>\n
\nThis thesis is to design a Foldable Bamboo Architecture which should be lightweight, foldable ,durable, strong, and be transported easily and installed quickly.
\nThe new design will be inspired by the logic of origami which will be connected to the computation. It exlore the techinical how to make the bamboo structure foldable.<\/p>\n
