Be Bamboo

as a designer, technician and artist i have always been enchanted by geodesic domes. as technical director for the absoluut architectuur event in the skyhall zaventem 2005 i had the chance to build my first geodesic dome for absoluut wodka as an igloo substitute, in 2006 i studied the traditional building styles as research for the eternity 4 elements architectural contest and expeditions, i was initiator of this project and was part of the jury. my visit to the exhibition “vegetal city” from luc schuiten proved to be a new impuls to start thinking again about geodetic domes this time with respect to the environment. my fascination for bamboo use in architecture was reignited. the visit of a good friend finaly started the action process.
