Project
Situated in Yingchuan village, this design-build fostered experimentation with vernacular and high-tech materials for new public ammenity structures.
Our proposal was for a hybrid bamboo and glass fibre-reinforced plastic structure that would provide a light-weight roof for the village’s market square. This innovative solution was conceived of in collaboration with local bamboo craftsmen and a leading manufacturer of architectural-grade glass fibre-reinforced panels.
