Luum Temple

The five-sided open pavilion is located in Tulum, Mexico, and the construction date is 2019. The temple does not belong to a single religion and has programs like yoga, meditation, and communal gatherings. The main aim of the project was to meet people with nature while also protecting the environment. The building is made of bamboo bent on site, screwed, and strapped together.

Ten impressive bamboo buildings that demonstrate the material's versatility

From a modular housing prototype to a disaster-proof yoga studio, we've rounded up 10 bamboo architectures from Dezeen's archive that use the ancient construction material in new and unusual ways.

After being abandoned in favour of concrete and steel in the 20th century, bamboo is increasingly being integrated into modern buildings due to its lightness and flexibility.

Due to its rapid growth, the biomaterial is affordable, rapidly renewable and able to sequester large amounts of carbon from the atmosphere.

At the same time, researchers say its strength could make it a sustainable substitute for traditional rebars as well as creating structures that are resistant to natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes.

"I think bamboo and laminated bamboo will replace other materials and become the 'green steel' of the 21st century," Vietnamese architect Vo Trong Nghia told Dezeen.

Read on for a selection of projects that make the most of this versatile grass.

The Arc by Ibuku

Informed by the way the human ribcage is held in place by the tension from the surrounding muscles and skin, architecture studio Ibuku created a self-supporting roof made entirely from bamboo for the gymnasium of Bali's Green School.

Composed of 14-metre-high cane arches connected by double-curved gridshells, the "unprecedented" structure is capable of enclosing a large area using minimal material while leaving the floor underneath uninterrupted by supporting columns.

Impression Sanjie Liu canopy by LLLab

Bamboo strands are hand-woven to form this 140-metre-long canopy, which shelters visitors of the Impression Sanjie Liu light show on an island in Yangshuo's Li River.

A number of spherical pavilions designed to resemble lanterns are finished in the same latticework and supported by load-bearing bamboo lengths that were soaked and scorched so they could be bent into shape.

Bamboo Sports Hall by Chiangmai Life Architects and Construction

Sweeping, 17-metre trusses were prefabricated on-site and lifted into position using a crane to create a sports hall for Thailand's Panyaden International School, set among rice fields on the outskirts of Chiang Mai.

An open lattice structure cuts out the need for air conditioning and by eschewing steel fixings in favour of rope, Chiangmai Life Architects and Construction claims it was able to create a building that absorbed more carbon in its materials than was emitted through its construction.

Bamboo Pavilion by Zuo Studio

Taiwanese practice Zuo Studio designed this pavilion in Taichung to demonstrate how the low-carbon building material could offer "a more habitable environment to our next generation".

Sourced from a total of 320 plants, its structure is formed from thick, hollow rods of Moso bamboo that are connected via smaller interlacing Makino bamboo segments.

Bamboo Ring by Kengo Kuma

Kengo Kuma has described bamboo as the "material of the future" and combined it with carbon fibre to create a highly durable, self-supporting structure installed at the V&A for London Design Festival 2019.

According to Kuma, this kind of construction could help to create buildings that are capable of withstanding natural disasters such as the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011.

"This is a new materiality that we can try to bring to the city," he told Dezeen

Rising Canes by Penda

The Rising Canes pavilion was developed by architecture studio Penda to showcase modular bamboo construction, which the practice said could be used to form emergency housing, portable hotels and even an entire sustainable city for 200,000 people.

Exhibited at Beijing Design Week, the prototype sees vertical and horizontal stems connected via X-shaped joints of the same material to create interlocking building blocks. These could be expanded in every direction, allowing architecture to grow with its inhabitants.

"The structure could grow as tall as the trees," Precht told Dezeen.

Thread by Toshiko Mori

An undulating canopy drapes and folds itself over the whitewashed buildings of this cultural hub in Senegal, designed by Japanese architect Toshiko Mori.

Its flexible bamboo structure helps to create a fluid, modern reinterpretation of a traditional thatched roof, which encircles a number of open-air courtyards.

Hardelot Theatre by Studio Andrew Todd

Twelve-metre-high poles of bamboo encircle the cylindrical Hardelot Theatre near Calais, creating a cage-like exterior and a radiating pattern that emanates from its roof.

This gridded structure is mirrored in the slatted timber panelling of the playhouse, which was designed as a homage to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.

Vedana Restaurant by Vo Trong Nghia

Although the towering roof of Nghia's Vedana Restaurant appears to be formed from three thatched gables, the dome is actually a single structure formed from 36 bamboo modules.

This fact is revealed only on the interior, where the intersecting rods are left exposed and form a spiralling mandala pattern across the cavernous ceiling.

"It is not easy to create beautiful spaces by using bamboo because it is an uneven material," Nghia said. "We try to control the accuracy of the construction by applying unit-frame prefabrication."

Luum Temple by CO-LAB Design Office

Luum yoga studio in the jungles of Tulum is formed from five parametrically designed arches, woven together by a structural triangular pattern and bound by two layers of lattice to create a structure that is able to resist hurricane forces.

"Due to the carbon bamboo sequesters during its rapid harvest growth cycle, and its high strength to weight ratio, bamboo is a leading sustainable material with amazing potentials," CO-LAB Design Office said.

Em-Estudio builds concrete holiday home on Oaxaca hillside

Em-Estudio has built a holiday home on a steep hillside in Oaxaca, Mexico, from coloured concrete chosen to blend into the rocky mountainside.

Named La Extraviada, the house overlooks Mermejita beach in Mazunte, a small seaside town on southern Mexico's Pacific coast.

Top: an aerial view of La Extraviada. Above: the house hugs the mountainside

Mexico City-based architecture firm Em-Estudio used polished cement mixed with brown pigments for La Extraviada's walls to camouflage the house with its lush natural setting.

"The shape and orientation of the project is determined by the topography of the land, adapting to it and trying to make the house look like it has always been there," said Em-Estudio architect Ivan Esqueda.

"All the materials used were thought of as elements that blend with the mountain, like stones that balance on a hillside," he told Dezeen.

Em-Studio framed the staircase with stone walls

La Extraviada is made up of two concrete volumes that are independent of one another but joined by a pathway.

The main volume is accessed through an entrance at the top of the plot, next to a private car park.

The vestibule-patio is designed to keep cool

A staircase, sheltered by exterior walls to trap cool air, leads to a stone vestibule-patio and the house's front door.

On this level, there are dining and living areas, as well as a kitchen, pantry and laundry room featuring interior design by Esqueda's wife, Gala Sánchez-Renero.

A living space with doors that open on each side

Covered by a wooden roof clad in clay tiles, the living space opens out onto a long, sea-facing swimming pool. An adjacent stone roof terrace with clusters of local potted plants looks towards the same view.

Enclosed in stacked cubed structures are two bedrooms and two bathrooms at lower levels, each with its own patio that are smaller versions of the terrace.

Wooden shutters can open to the air

La Extraviada's rooms are protected by floor-to-ceiling wooden shutters that guard against extreme weather, but when open, take advantage of Oaxaca's frequently sunny climate.

"All the rooms were designed considering the cross-flow of air for keeping the spaces fresh," explained Esqueda.

"Each room has a ceiling fan and wooden windows that open fully, facing the main source of air coming from the sea and patios."

The swimming pool is sea-facing

A staircase leading to two rooms in the cubed structures is accessed from one side of the roof terrace.

On the opposite side of the terrace is the stone pathway which connects the main block to La Extraviada's second volume that can be independently accessed.

This volume includes two separate studios housed on levels above and below each other, and an additional kitchen and bathroom.

A pair of small freshwater pools sit on two levels of the second volume. One is built into a terrace, and the other faces towards the mountainside.

The pathway connecting each volume continues down the hillside, spilling towards the beach.

Regional wood features in the holiday home

La Extraviada is mainly made from regional materials such as guapinol wood and local stone obtained from nearby quarries.

Much of the interior carpentry uses macuil wood which is sourced from a tree that is native to Mexico.

Em-Estudio used regional materials as an aesthetic decision and an environmental one.

"We wanted to complete a project that respects its surroundings. We think the best way to do that is by using local materials that don't need to be transported for long distances and are easier to maintain," explained the architect.

Stacked cubes form the house's structure

La Extraviada owes its name to extraviado, a kind of Mexican grouper fish. Esqueda described the inception of the house as an exciting period spent dreaming about its completion.

"Although there was a long way to go, the name came from a certain sensation that we were fishing for a dream."

Em-Studio built La Extraviada close to the sea

More Mexican projects using locally sourced materials that blend with their surroundings include Zozaya Arquitectos beachfront apartments in coastal town Troncones, and Luum Temple by CO-LAB Design Office is a bamboo yoga pavilion.

Rooftop pools crown holiday apartments in Tulum jungle by PPAA

Architecture firm PPAA has designed BAI-HA, an 18-apartment holiday resort in Tulum built from wood, washed concrete and stucco made from Mexican chukum.

BAI-HA spans three storeys and a rooftop with views of the jungle canopy and ocean. The resort is located in Aldea Zamá, southern Tulum, about 100 metres from the area's main beachfront.

Top: an interior apartment view. Above: BAI-HA is nestled in the Tulum jungle

"The project is based on ideas of privacy and intimacy in a place that is directly related to nature," PPAA told Dezeen.

"Neutral, clean and natural architecture leaves the richness of textures and shadows to the surrounding landscape."

Six separate one-storey apartments are built on the ground floor, each with private access to its own swimming pool and gardens with towering palm trees.

The apartment complex is covered in stucco

The remaining 12 apartments are duplexes arranged over two upper levels. Each of these apartments has a private terrace and jacuzzi on BAI-HA's rooftop, which is accessed through a public area on the third floor.

With this stacked formation, every apartment can enjoy the surrounding sprawling jungle at their visitors' leisure while maintaining a sense of privacy.

"The design process was based on the idea of efficiency," said PPAA.

Each apartment has a private pool

BAI-HA was sparing with the material palette for the project. The apartments are constructed from three natural materials – wood, washed concrete and chukum stucco.

The chukum tree is native to the Yucatán Peninsula. Chukum stucco is made by boiling the bark and mixing it with cement.

Apartments on the upper levels have jacuzzis with rooftop views

Apart from their open gardens, apartments on the ground floor of BAI-HA are mainly concealed from street-view, as well as this level's service units, staircases and bathrooms.

On the second floor, apartments are also mostly enclosed. Rooms that extend to the third floor are partially concealed by wooden louvres which protect against extreme weather. Delicate wooden frames also line the resort's rooftop.

Wooden louvres shade the rooms

Tulum is renowned for architecture that celebrates traditional Mayan materials. Studio Arquitectos has designed residential apartments built from tzalam wood with polished chukum floors. Luum Temple is a bamboo yoga pavilion by local studio CO-LAB Design Office.

PPAA, or Pérez Palacios Arquitectos Asociados, was founded by Pablo Pérez Palacios in 2016. The firm recently designed a wooden-lattice-fronted boutique hotel in Mexico City.

THE ULTIMATE SOLITUDE TEMPLE DESIGN FOR THE PERFECT SANCTUARY

Sitting inside the heart of a woodland in the seaside metropolis of Tulum Mexico, the Luum Temple serves as not just a tranquil spot to meditate and hook up with nature, however also as a demonstration of greater sustainable sorts of structure. Amidst Tulum’s unexpectedly-developing unchecked architectural improvement, the Luum is an eco-friendly bamboo shape located in a conserved place in a local jungle, within a conservation-minded residential improvement called Luum Zama. The temple’s layout is tremendously stimulated by way of parametric structure, and capabilities 5 catenary arches crafted from Bamboo. Designed by using CO-LAB Design Office, the temple’s layout uses bamboo sustainably grown within the neighboring Chiapas kingdom. Flat sections of bamboo have been bent and bloodless-molded on web site, earlier than being formed into the five catenary arches. For structural balance, the designers wove together a couple of bamboo beams into a triangular mesh, with a dual-layered woven bamboo lattice on pinnacle for further cowl. Sitting atop the grand bamboo structure is a canopy of neighborhood zacate, or straw thatch, giving the structure protection from heat or even rain. “Luum Temple is a display case for sustainable development, it combines modern layout and engineering with artisanal constructing and natural sustainable substances,” provide an explanation for the architects. “The arched vaults help each other, co-current in structural dependency, serving as a reminder to the network of our interdependence and the accomplishments we are able to reap when we paintings together.” The Luum Temple, handy handiest walking, may be used as a center for health, meditation, tranquility, and for organizing restoration applications, yoga workshops, and different network gatherings. new mandir design, latest wooden temple design, hindu temple designs for home, mandir designs for small flats, wooden mandir design for home, simple temple design for home, simple pooja mandir designs, pooja mandir designs with prices   Read the full article
