With rise of modern materials and advancement of technology, natural, sustainable materials have been neglected. AirLab (Architectural Intelligence Research Lab) has devised a state of the art solution to merge an organic, unpredictable material (Bamboo) with the mechanical precision of modern construction (3D Printing). The result is AirBamboo – an iconic, lightweight structure that promotes the use of organic materials and bio-degradable 3D printed components.This hands-on workshop introduces AirLab’s use of modern technologies such as 2D scanning, image processing and 3D printing to employ bamboo as a building material. Participants gain insights on the system behind AirBamboo and experience building architectural model kits of different iconic, lightweight structures.This event has a limited capacity with safe distancing in place. Group size will have no more than five participants and please adhere to the guideline of no physical interaction or intermingling between different groups. Be responsible and stay safe during the festival!
