Material & Performance Requirements
Located outdoors and functioning as a load-bearing construct, the pavilion required bamboo capable of:
Following extensive material testing, ZHUART’s high-performance outdoor bamboo was selected as the material for the structure. Though only 3mm thick, the material is as hard as a blade.
