The tallest bamboo construction ever built in Taiwan for expo-goers to explore and interact with bamboo interior space is being exhibited at The Taichung World Flora Expo from Nov 3 to April 24, 2019.
Designed by architect Chen Yi-chung of the Taichung-based ZUO Studio, the Bamboo Pavilion is constructed with bamboo -- a fast-growing plant and renewable natural material with high strength-to-weight ratio that can be utilized for multiple purposes.
Chen in a statement said the Bamboo Pavilion is constructed with mainly Taiwan-grown bamboos to replace concrete, seeking to create a harmonious relationship between architecture and natural environment by using sustainable building material.
"At 10m high, the curvy exterior of the pavilion also integrates with its surrounding landscape including a pond and Makino bamboo garden designs, making it a place for visitors to connect with nature while exploring or resting inside," added Chen.
The Bamboo Pavilion also has been shortlisted by the World Architecture Festival Awards for the Leisure Led Development � Future Project category, recognizing the strength of architecture firms in Taichung and Taichung City Government's promotional efforts for the expo.
It was constructed with more than 300 stalks of Moso bamboo from Nantou which presents promotion wishes. The Bamboo Pavilion is one of the major highlights on this year's flora expo which also features garden designs by Hong Kong, Malaysia and Myanmar.
Also exhibited at the expo includes the world's largest "The Sound of Blooming" installation art, the longest paper-cutting art, the largest equestrian stadium, the first renewable building constructed with straw and more, the statement said.
