项目概况:

One With the Birds was developed by Penda for the AIM Legend of the Tent competition in China, which challenged architects develop the concept of modular bamboo hotel offering hikers an alternative living experience in the forest. Use the local materials and bamboo structure, green and low energy cost. Create a connection which leaves no impact on the site, or any harm on the bamboo itself. Penda took inspiration from Native American tipis for the structure, which would be built with X-shaped bamboo joints that hold horizontal bamboo rods in place. Joints would be tied together with rope, rather than fixed with nails, keeping the bamboo intact so it could be disassembled and reused in other projects. So after the temporary hotel is deconstructed, the materials can be re-used as scaffolding on a construction site or reused as another temporary hotel on a different location. The frame structure likes the triangle and inside has different modular function area, such as bedroom, lounge, dining room and washroom, etc. The span of each structural grid is 4.7 meters, and the height from the ground to the ceiling is 4 meters. The structure would be raised slightly off the ground, so changes in levels could be easily accommodated. Ivy and other plants can grow on the grid, and over time they can take over the whole bamboo structure and transform its appearance.
