Abstract

The presented paper discusses the combination of cutting edge technology (i.e. 3D-pinting) and raw natural grown resources (i.e. bamboo) to develop resource efficient load carrying truss structures in architectural scale. Via visual sensing the individual material properties of various bamboo poles are analyzed and directly used to inform the digital model. Comparing load carrying capacity of the bamboo pole and structural requirements of the design, the poles are placed and the connections designed. Conventional 3D-pinters produce the nodes and connectors and enable to merge natural and "digital" materiality.
