International Bamboo Pavilion Design Competition

The Thanh Tam EcoPark is looking for an extraordinary pavilion to be built by people who love bamboo.

Description
We encourage you to create the most innovative design for a pavilion to be constructed under the masterful expertise of builder Jorg Stamm!
What exactly is a pavilion? Pavilions can be simple or complicated. They can be part structure, part art installation, part communal experience, and part practical solution to the weather. A pavilion is a flexible architectural open space that invites people to come in and spend time in it. It can be a meditative space, a social place, a dining room, an exhibition hall, a tea house, an amphitheater, a games room, something to come into to get out of the rain, or to seek shelter from the sun. The Thanh Tam EcoPark is looking for an extraordinary pavilion to be built by people who love bamboo.
We seek to explore global creativity to realize a contemporary pavilion, one with global appeal, and not one of any particular culture or geography. The winning design will be in the hands of master builder Jorg Stamm and a team comprised of Peter van Lengen and Martin Mortera. On site in Thanh Tam EcoPark, participants will work under Stamm's direction, alongside each other in teams, to construct a marvelous pavilion that will become a permanent structure within the
vast EcoPark.
