Located in the University of Texas at Arlington\, it transforms a structure to a dynamic system\, that engages the senses while efficiently capturing water. Inspired from the adaptive functions of the bluebonnet\, we extracted from the plant’s xylem and stoma to shape performance. Bamboo serves as the primary structural framework\, while custom PETG nodes enable precise connections and structural flexibility. \nThis program explores the potential of bamboo as a catalyst for sustainable design\, illustrating how unique properties can transform the way material is approached as not only aesthetics but also environmental responsibility. By connecting the concept of Water Without Rain with practical design applications\, attendees will gain insight into how materials can contribute to resilience. \nNo registration required. This program has been approved for 0.5 LU | HSW by AIA CES.
