THE SMARTEST WAY TO
CREATE IMPACTFUL BAMBOO MODELS
BUILD AMAZING BAMBOO SCALE MODELS WITHOUT ANY SOPHISTICATED EQUIPMENT OR A Ph.D. IN ENGINEERING IN CHINA.
Most people will never build bamboo models to their true potential. Why? Because you're making all the typical mistakes: Choosing the wrong material, bending the bamboo inaccurately, lacking a design process. And more important than anything... underestimating the power of hand-made modeling,

WHY I WROTE THIS E-BOOK?
I created this for people who want to learn how to significantly increase the impact of your bamboo scale models, regardless of your experience.
'The Role' is a simple guide that addresses some of the least answered questions on the subject, saving you years of study and some long journeys to learn from others.
A lot of people talk about bamboo architecture...
BUT FEW TALK ABOUT HOW TO CREATE IT
The information out there mostly shows bamboo projects without their 'secret' design processes. However, you can tell that many of those rely on the digital rendering.
Wang Shu (Pritzker 2012) said: "our memories associated with nature are reawakened through real personal experience, and it can be reflected only by freehand and model-making "... Then, why should we focus on digital tools only?.
I realized through years of practice that hand-made modeling is the primary tool to design bamboo architecture. But at the same time, I got obligated to learn its the role in the digital era.
Otherwise I wouldn't be able to design bamboo architecture in China for almost a decade...
I BELIEVE THERE ARE 3 THINGS TO FOCUS ON:
If you are a profesional designer, or a student, or a retired person looking for new challenges, or anyone trying to design/build bamboo architecture, then you need to take model-making as a priority, and then understand how to re-mix it digitally.
PRELIMINARIES
You need solid basis such as: wise material's choice, a design process, creative mindset, business mindset, myths and realities about bamboo...
MODELING TECHNIQUES
The proved methods I've used for more than a decade: bending technique, bridges, hyperbolic paraboloids, symmetry, asymmetry...
POST-PRODUCTION
Now that you have a bamboo model,
how to optimize it for an unforgettable first impression for your audience?
This is about effective communication.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hi!, I'm Daniel Stamatis. I help highly motivated designers and developers to create bamboo structural concepts in 5 steps. No inspiration needed. I usually work in one-to-one sessions or small groups. This book the a living testimony of the anecdotes and lessons of this practice.
