As with testing the geodesic ideas, I want to use computer modelling, physical modelling and drawing side by side as a linked process....

Using geodesic domes as the form for some initial computer and physically modelling speculation led me to testing the idea of bamboo...

The final modules to do were to test and demonstrate the casting on formwork process. For this, I used a card formwork/mould, built from...

The second module to construct was the formwork applied to the bamboo. To make this, I first of all laser-cut the net in mountboard. I...

The first module that I made was the bamboo structure. This is something which could be clad in some form of sheeting or textile to be...
