atelier bow wow : bamboo zoo

seeking to provide 'urban acupuncture' for the industrial city, the cocoon-like installation provides a calm public space that grounds its inhabitants with nature.

formed of bamboo with embedded LED lights, the bamboo piece functions as a recessed luminaire in addition to being incorporated into walls as a structural component. a separate mountable lamp serves smaller spaces.

constructed with locally sourced clay, sand, straw and water, this school's cob and bamboo structure will be protected from earthquake and rain events.

serving as a public platform for discussion and exchange, the two-storey mobile pavilion provides an airy and open space that can be easily transformed for specific events and functions. 

sited within a densely populated neighborhood, the dwelling is composed of two mirrored structures loosely connected by windows and a central outdoor courtyard.

a part of a six-year project organized by BMW and the guggenheim, the pop-up structure will serve as a public platform to discuss and explore new ideas of urban living.
