In the botanical garden of the TU Darmstadt ([url]https://www.bio.tu-darmstadt.de/botanischergarten/[/url]), a large number of bamboo stalks are available this year after the rare flowering.
Together with students of civil engineering (Prof. Knaack), the participants will design a structure (e. g. roofing, bridge ...) to be built in summer semester 25. The group work includes harvesting, drying, structural detailing and first built prototypes of this natural high-performance material. The results will be shown in an exhibition on the TU Darmstadt campus.
In individual projects, the architecture students will use this technical and material-specific knowledge to design urban interventions for events as part of the World Design Capital Frankfurt. In addition to roofs, interior spaces will also be created, using digital technologies to enable precise work with the natural and irregular material. The plan is to 3D scan the culms and create 3D printed connection details. Students will use computational design methods and simulations to research the performance of the material and make optimum use of it for the design.
