Abstract

This research investigates the confluence of design and structure through bamboo and tectonic thinking in the formative education of architecture design studios. The project focuses on utilizing bamboo as a sustainable and adaptable material in architectural design education to promote a comprehensive grasp of the relationship between design principles and structural considerations. The study examines the instructional strategies and methodology for incorporating tectonic thinking and bamboo in architecture design studios. It investigates how using bamboo as a primary material might improve students’ comprehension of how form, function, and structure interact. The study employs a qualitative research approach by analysis of pedagogical practices and design outcomes with an assessment of students’ learning outcomes. It involves a review of existing literature and case studies to identify practices and examples of integrating bamboo and tectonic thinking in architectural design education. The study aims to provide insights into effective teaching strategies and curricular frameworks that support the integration of bamboo and tectonic thinking in architectural design studios. The findings of this research will benefit educators, students, and practitioners in architecture. By incorporating bamboo and tectonic thinking in formative education, students develop appreciation for sustainable design practices, gain practical knowledge of working with bamboo as a material, and understand the importance of structural integrity in their design solutions. In conclusion, this research highlights the significance of integrating design and structure by applying tectonic thinking with bamboo in the formative education of architecture design studios.
