In Bamboo is a multi-functional rural community cultural center with provisions for exhibitions, conferences, community gathering, as well as recreation. While it sits harmoniously within its natural ecology, the project also explores the interaction of traditional construction techniques with prefabricated industrialization, which has made the 52-day construction period of this complex geometry possible. The new definition offered for traditional paradigms and the rethinking of rural & urban issues provide a lens for thinking about the meaning of architecture in the present time.
