01 CONCEPT

The Bamboo skyscraper is experimental project which aims to explore the possibility of building high-rise buildings with sustainable materials.

Bamboo is used in various forms and design combinations. The main supporting superstructure consists of combination of bamboo and concrete. Inside are inserted independent self-supporting pods of laminated bamboo panels and other bamboo based elements. The pods are three floors high or in case of lobby, two floors. A Double layered fire retardant facade is formed on the outside as a wall made of long bamboo sticks, allowing adjustable sun protection . A Hollow cylindrical shape guarantees that the building remains cool at all times.

The stability is provided by two cores which include lifts and stairs.

The three-storey high spaces between superstructure levels act as semiprivate spaces where residents have their own front garden , balcony and bamboo houses. This idea is founded by a concept consisting out of two pillars: a vertical urban village and the natural building limitations of bamboo. This approach allowed creation of unconventional spaces suitable for a variety of functional. For example officess, SOHO, hotel etc.

Thanks to 264 m of height is the building obviously visible at long distance, but the materials can be experienced best from right under or next to it. Achieving this is mainly the result of surrounding the skyscraper with a bamboo park and creating a square around the skyscraper. Not only the design of the skyscraper itself is based on the properties of bamboo, but also the park in which transparency is a key element. Semi-private and public gardens are visibly connected, through separated, creating a true city in a garden.
