The aim is to create a community area conceived through the interaction of sustainable technologies and intended to host the Slum(e)Scape exhibit curated by the Turin Polytechnic.
The structure of the pavilion, which looks like a photovoltaic sail, is meant to suggest the use potential of a low-cost building material like bamboo, which combines excellent physical-mechanical performance with a very high environmental sustainability profile.
The pavilion will be created through a workshop for students and young architects at the Turin Polytechnic.
The bamboo has been tested by the DICAT department of the University of Genoa engineering faculty.
