CSI: Supple Bamboo Bridge

C.S.I. Case Studies & Ideologies

Exploration in a city: Supple Bamboo Bridges

Installation, 1619 Silver Lake Boulevard, Los Angeles

Designer: Workshop Levitas

"... an installation to demonstrate 'lightness'..."

"... a 'monster' over the water..."

"... a stage where water, aquatic life and visitors can all be involved." "...protects, guides and provides a utilitarian purpose..."

"While crossing the bridge, visitors can see through the grid-like bamboo structure and view the ever-changing environment around them." "Despite the tendency of bamboo to change from green and flexible to brown and hard, the designers were able to draw out the unique characteristics of the material to fit the overall spatial composition."
