Themed
源于传统技艺 Bamboo Art Space
inspired by Traditional Arts & Craft, the competition
aimed to find a prototype design derived from traditional techniques and
developed or transformed into an
innovative design to form a bamboo art space. The competition was designed
to exercise the hands-on ability of students in architecture and encourage
them to build facilities in real life with original materials and size,
which will improve the practical experience of 1:1 scaling bamboo
constructions.
At the international level, the
overall awards and individual awards were selected according to
three outlooks in the scoring rules. The first outlook is the
architectural design where 50% is allocated for conceptual innovation and
design integration. The second outlook is the engineering and structural
design where 30% is allocated for structural innovation and structural
details. The last outlook is communication and promotion where 20% is
awarded for the clarity of the visual presentation including graphics and
animation.
