This Bamboo Tent was commissioned by Green School, Bali to be used for the graduation ceremony and the Conservation Conference Weekend that featured Dr. Jane Goodall as their honorary speaker.
The design challenge was to create a tent-like structure that could accommodate 500 people, would not destroy the site (soccer field) or the structural bamboo poles so that it could be re-used, and could be built in 10 days to be used for 10 days.
To meet the request of the clients, the concept was to create multiple teepee tents and connect them with structural poles in intervals to ensure additional anchoring support. Then, 15cm diameter reject bamboo poles were cut in quarters at a 50cm length and anchored them down on the ends and the sides of each bamboo pole to prevent lateral movements.
Almost all of the materials used in this project were organic. Bamboo skin rope was used for most of the joineries. The only non-organic material used were plastic ropes that were used to hoist structural bamboo poles together.
Most of the resources (labor, bamboo, roofing material) were sourced locally. The only exception being a few of the large structural bamboo poles that were acquired from a supplier in Java. The smaller bamboo poles used for this structure were harvested on site.
This structure was built in 7 days with 15 bamboo workers.
