Be Bamboo

As a designer, technician and artist I have always been enchanted by geodesic domes. As technical director for the absoluut architectuur event in the skyhall zaventem 2005 I had the chance to build my first geodesic dome for Absoluut Wodka as an igloo substitute, In 2006 I studied the traditional building styles as research for the eternity 4 elements architectural contest and expeditions, I was initiator of this project and was part of the jury. My visit to the exhibition “vegetal city” from Luc Schuiten proved to be a new impuls to start thinking again about geodetic domes this time with respect to the environment. My fascination for bamboo use in architecture was reignited. The visit of a good friend finaly started the action process.
