The Bamboo Symphony Pavilion

2022 International Bamboo Pavilion Design Competition

Nature, space and buildings are encountered as a multisensory experience. The perception of different sensory experiences in the Thanh Tam Bamboo Eco-park is translated by the Bamboo Symphony Pavilion to engage and amplify the dialogue between the visitors and the natural environment.

More than a shelter, Bamboo Symphony Pavilion is a natural theatre to appreciate the performance of the transition of the every-changing nature, such as windblow, raining, sunshine, rainbow, etc. to provoke different human sensory experience. Functioning as a wind chime, the central cluster of bamboo not only would orchestrate a natural symphony whilst the wind blowing through, but also allows raindrop gently drip through its hollowness and arrive at the central ponds, and later gradually retrofit back to the surrounding. And additionally, the white light membrane cover is to filter the direct sunlight as well as to raise the awareness of the hazy sunshine due to air pollution.
