BAMBOO RIDGE
BUILDING DATE:2021.11th
Introduction
Advertisement
The properties of bamboo are used to split and heat bend it to create a prototype that transforms what would otherwise be a single linear rod into a spatial structure. The prototype is extended and replicated in space to create the structural span that will eventually form our table, the "Bamboo Ridge"

Left:Keep the prototype applied vertically, with the aim of having it stressed in a straight line.

Right:Overlap two prototypes in the prototype so that it expands in all four directions at the ends.
Initial attempts at a table stand Combination of two units turned up and down to form a combined unit with a T-section for one span.

A simple hinge with screws secures the intersection section.

Prototype
A single linear dimension is transformed into a spatial three-dimensional dimension using a staggered cleavage method.
