the poetics of construction Reinterpreting the bamboo architecture of Simón Vélez

Architecture is invariably as much about structure and construction as it is about space and abstract form. This thesis seeks to explore the spatial and geometric potential of bamboo as a building material, more specifically, the architecture of Colombian architect Simón Vélez. The research will focus on the poetic dimension of the translation from line drawings by the architect to three-dimensional space. The language derived from this study will then be applied to the design project, as a reinvention of Vélez’s novel techniques in bamboo construction.

contested territories Strategies for an integrated sustainable design in Summatra

The assignment is to design a building that hosts and showcases research activities by YEL, Pan Eco and SOCP, to be located in Orangutan Haven, Summatra. The key function is to promote understanding of science, nature studies, and field research. In response to the climatic and ecological conditions, ‘Lark’ is strategically positioned at the top of the valley to establish a visual and physical relationship to the topography. The project also considers the specific social conditions, availability of material resources, talent and technical skills. Additionally, questions of contemporary didactical, curatorial concepts and their spatial implementation informs the design approaches.

‘Lark’ was selected as best architectural design by the jury and construction planning is underway in Orangutan Haven.

bamboo revisions Architecture & materiality

Architecture has a fundamental relationship to materiality. Bamboo revisions focuses on a specific material, bamboo to investigate the process of spatial design and construction. The studio begins with a short assignment “the chair” to develop design and fabrication skills in bamboo, through the construction of a full-scale prototype chair. The knowledge is then applied at an architectural scale to a design proposal for the bamboo village of Bai Zhang, China. ‘Mandala’ investigates the geometric potential of bamboo that emerges from its unique construction techniques such as bundling. The reference to complex geometries in islamic patterns develops an organisation system that translates ‘the chair’ to an architectural scale while retaining unique physical properties of the material.
