OPAQUE TRANSPARENT
In 2010, following the destruction of the Haitian earthquake, a Cornell graduate student body planted bamboo nurseries in the Southwest portion of the country. This design utilizes the bamboo production in order to try and holistically stimulate Haiti’s economy. Through the harvesting, transportation and construction of materials for the dome, a large portion of Haiti’s population would be given a chance to produce.
