TWINING

More than 12 m long and 4 m width pavilion with height of 3 m is highly inspired by a technique called twining. Twining is one of the oldest active bending techniques, which is constantly and broadly used in bamboo products. It can strengthen the whole weaving structure and also highlight the beauty of the pattern. The idea was not merely applying this kind of weaving pattern on the shell structure, but to simplify it and find another combination. The concept respects properties of flexible boards and gives them a structural stiffness through its interweaving.
