Abstract

Bending Blossom provides visitors with the feeling of being in a bamboo forest. The structure takes advantage of bamboo’s elasticity. Bent bamboo poles of the structure transfer horizontal loads and reduce the risk of buckling under vertical loads. A green roof serves as a thermal buffer that provides a comfortable micro-climate with natural ventilation. The bending green roof and bamboo create an elegant form in harmony with nature.
