To achieve the span and reduce costs, IBUKU use thinner and shorter bamboos per section, and tied together, rather than one large pole.
Description of project by IBUKU
Sangkep is a multipurpose event space at the Green School, which hosts presentations and events, with a capacity of about 300 people. I Gusti Ngurah Ketut Putra Wiarsa, architect and bamboo model specialist in IBUKU, points out that Sangkep impresses by its structural boldness. Its arches reach large spans, while being a lightweight structure visually. These arches reach a span of 15 meters, with 4 points of support, in a structural reasoning similar to the Bamboo Bridge. Between the 4 support points there are 19-20 meters (distant supports) and 9-10 meters (close supports). An oval stone ring receives the supports, also being used as a grandstand.
To achieve the span and reduce costs, thinner and shorter bamboos were used per section, and tied together, rather than one large pole. With this technique, the arches are constructed using several segments of bamboo, allowing greater ease in reaching the desired curvatures.
From the inside, it is possible to have total contact with the surroundings, since the four faces are completely open. Even so, there is total protection against climatic events such as rains and winds, so common in the region. The tear at the highest point of the cover, with translucent tissue, allows the entrance of abundant zenithal light.
About 20 models were necessary before arriving at the ideal form, and its construction lasted three months.

IBUKU is a team of young designers, architects and engineers who explore innovative ways to use bamboo to build houses, hotels, schools and event spaces in Bali, Indonesia. They are creating a new design vocabulary based on this material and exploring the way in which architecture and sustainable design can redefine luxury. The materials they use, the people they work with and the lands they build inform their design process. The traditional skills of Balinese artisans, combined with their design ideas and modern engineering, allow them to create original bamboo structures that meet the needs of a diverse clientele.
Completed key projects include the Green School, Green Village, Sharma Springs, and Bambu Indah Hotel, which have appeared in international publications like Architectural Digest, Vogue and the Huffington Post. Upcoming projects are underway in West Africa, Lombok, and Bali.
