Ternary Shed: An Exemplar Design for Bamboo Construction
The Ternary Shed is an exemplar bamboo building design that demonstrates bamboo's mechanical and aesthetical characteristics in construction. The design draws on a triad of knowledge from Latin American low-cost construction techniques, Australian timber construction methods, and contemporary Chinese bamboo design. The Ternary Shed is a two-story pavilion made of round bamboo poles and engineered bamboo products, entirely designed for prefabrication to enable rapid, accessible on-site construction. The flexibility and adaptable layout results in a structure that can be deployed for many uses and typologies worldwide. The design was submitted for the International Bamboo Construction Competition 2019 and presented at the 2019 International Horticultural Exposition in Beijing, China, where it placed third overall. The experience of participating in the competition and the design process was an opportunity to raise public awareness about bamboo’s potential use in construction and to demonstrate its versatility and strength as a renewable building material.
