Australian designer Esan Rahmani in collaboration with Mukul Damle have designed “Bamboo Pavillion”, a synthesis of sustainable ideas for a communal shelter for the disadvantaged around the Indian Ocean Rim.
Focusing on readily available materials in the region, the whole pavillion is designed to be made from bamboo. Bamboo’s extraordinary physical characteristics make is suitable for all types of structures including roofing, water pipes, drainage, flooring. This along with smart joinery means that there is little need for any other materials.
