Focusing on Bamboo Technical detailing for industrial standards.

• Dimensional standards.
• Meeting industrial/planar materials.
• Rigs for large scale production.
• Computerized (CNC, 3Dprint, Rhino/Grasshopper/Karamba).

The natural features of bamboo given by nature make each individual culm unique: often curved, more or less tapered, sometimes with oval or irregular section, varying inter-node lengths… The strength properties of tension and compression can vary considerably according to the different 1000++ bamboo species.
Matching bamboo with planar and rectilinear materials is therefore a huge challenge. Industrialization and modular design necessary for prefabrication become virtually impossible without intermediate steps to circumvent these conflicts...
