We explored a range of bamboo working methods-from traditional lashing and pegged joints to modern bolted and steel-insert joints. We also experimented with cutting, shaping and surface treatments like polishing, staining and fire charring. Throughout the process, we made technical drawings and 3D renders, showing how the structure and water system would function. We also studied different bamboo processing and treatment techniques to make sure our concept could work in real life. One special element I brought to the design was the use of the Knup - a traditional bamboo umbrella from Mawsynram, India, one of the wettest places on Earth. Including this helped form a cultural link between India and France, and brought in a traditional Indian technique to a modern design project in a French setting.
