Structure and Body
In this assignment, students were to design and construct a 1: 1 scale shading structure using bamboo, by understanding the nature and characteristics of the material. Students also explored different construction details,
and structural quality. Also, the structure must be implemented with appropriate ergonomics and anthropometrics for the users to interact with the structure.
We have enhanced our knowledge regarding tectonic structures and the users' experience in our structure, as well as implementing correct technical drawing conventions.
The elements we used were lines and rhythm consisting of various sizes of pentagon structures arranged together, in which users can lay inside and enjoy the scenery at the Uni square
The team drew orthographic drawings of the structure and tattoo stamps. We compiled our research information into a document on joineries and bamboo characteristics.

Many problems occur when we build the 1:1 structure; these must be addressed using innovative solutions
TGC Reflection
We worked together as a team and communicated effectively to complete this assignment
We applied knowledge learned about bamboo joints and joinery and construction methods
