SUMMARY

RESEARCHERS: Daniel Perenyi, Brandon Raettig INSTRUCTOR: Jen Wong SEMESTER: Spring 2021

This methodology report is meant to be a lasting compendium of the research, prototyping, and preparation that went into the Spring 2021 Bamboo Workshop. The workshop was a two-part event consisting of a presentation given by Ewe Jin Low, architect, bamboo educator, and founder of Ten Ten Design; and a hands-on workshop where participants learned bamboo joinery techniques and built a plant stand. The resources here are meant to serve as a jumping off point for someone who is interested in bamboo as a material. Detailed in the following pages are bamboo construction precedents, the process of prototyping, manufacturing, and building the plant stand, and conclusions, findings, and considerations for further bamboo workshops.
