EXHIBITION PAVILION
During the exhibition event organized by Interni Magazine “INTERNI DESIGN ENERGIES” at the salon 2009, BooTech - BambooEcoDome, a prototype of a geodesical bamboo dome was presented. The project was designed after a first experiment in 2006. A modern interpretation of the material with easy to assemble mechanical connections was further developed.
The same bamboo used in the previous pavilion is reused today, cut into plates connected through steel and neoprene joints to create a complex geodesic geometry with amazing static properties (the structure can hold approximately 30 times its weight), lightness, versatility and modernity.
