bamboo structure

Leverworks

I deleted the pages which were here as I made a new section for this topic. There I give an overview of my studies of a type of structure which I call leverworks. Others call this type or similar structures reciprocal frames, grillage structures, bar grids or mutually supporting structures. A specific variant is called Zollbauweise in German and lamella structure in English. These pages are still evolving. The image above shows a bamboo dome with a diameter of about ten meters built on a Summer day of the year 2000 on the lawn behind the Chung Chi College canteen at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

If you are iterested, please continue to the leverworks section.
