1 With the Birds was developed by Penda – a design collective primarily based in Vienna and Beijing – for the AIM Legend of the Tent competition in China, which challenged architects to create low-influence tent-themed hotels offering a closer connection with the outdoors.

Penda, whose other projects contain a Beijing gallery with swooping curved arches and a doughnut-shaped residence, came up with a concept for a versatile bamboo structure that can be effortlessly expanded horizontally and vertically.
“The structure could develop as tall as the trees,” Chris Precht from Penda told Dezeen. “Connected to the verticality of the trees, we can knowledge a forest from the viewpoint of a youngster climbing a tree, in between the treetops, with the birds – totally connected with nature in 3D and HD.”
Penda took inspiration from Native American tipis for the structure, which would be built with X-shaped bamboo joints that hold horizontal bamboo rods in place. The horizontal rods support the flooring, and the joints could be multiplied horizontally and vertically to increase the width and height of the structure.
“The span of every single structural grid is 4.7 metres, so quite narrow, and 8 sticks of structural beams are combined at every joint, so the method will be able to hold a lot of weight,” Precht said.
“The excellent factor about a flexible grid is that you can add structural beams when necessary, so if there is going to be more load on 1 element of the structure, more bamboo can be added.”
The much more joints in the framework, the much more stable it also becomes, according to Precht. “It’;s like men and women carrying a load – tough for 1, but simpler in a team.”
The structure would be raised slightly off the ground, so adjustments in levels could be simply accommodated. Joints would be tied together with rope, rather than fixed with nails, maintaining the bamboo intact so it could be disassembled and reused in other projects.
“The focus was to develop a connection which leaves no influence on the internet site, nor any harm on the bamboo itself, so right after the temporary hotel is deconstructed, the components can be re-utilised as scaffolding on a building web site or reused as an additional temporary hotel on a various place,” said Precht.
Penda chose bamboo for its availability and flexibility in China.
“It is used all more than China as scaffolding on construction websites for low- and higher-rise buildings, and it can be transported easily and set up once again on a different website,” mentioned Precht. “This flexibility was our beginning point for One With the Birds.”
“Furthermore, our intention is not just to hyperlink the structure to a natural surrounding, but also connect nature to the structure,” stated Precht. “Ivy and other plants can develop on the grid, and more than time they can take more than the complete bamboo structure and transform its look.”
Penda is now creating the idea into a mock-up, with the eventual aim of locating partners to function on bigger-scale structures such as short-term hotels. Precht says the system could also be employed for emergency shelter in disasters.

We don’;t need to have to tell them what to do, because they know very best. That’;s the beauty of a versatile grid.”

Casablanca’s ‘Gardens of Anfa’ are wrapped in bougainvilleas and jasmine
Maison Edouard François designed a colorful new mixed-used residential master plan for Casablanca, a cosmopolitan Moroccan city made famous by a movie with the same name.The Moroccan government is spending a lot of money to bring Casablanca up to the standards of a European city and attract more foreign investors.
A spiffy new tramway system is currently being developed, and Moroccans from a variety of demographics are flocking to the city to find work. As the population grows, it is essential to ensure there is sufficient housing – which is where the Gardens of Anfa come in.
A new mixed-use residential complex planned for construction in 2017, the master plan includes three mid-rise residential towers, one low-rise office tower, and a series of residential blocks that will be connected by lushly vegetated piazzas.
The towers are shaped to have an “organic” aesthetic, in contrast with the sharp angular skyscrapers that have so polluted Arabian Gulf skylines, and trellised facades on each are specifically designed to foster growth of bougainvilleas and jasmine.

As the vertical garden and green roof movement gains speed in the West, and in some parts of the Middle East and North Africa, Maison Edouard François appears to be mindful of bringing in vegetation that will actually flourish in a region that sees a great deal of sunshine and little rain.
In addition to providing some solar resistance, which would keep the towers cooler in the summertime and thereby reduce the amount of energy required to run air-conditioners, the flowering facades blur the boundary of the garden – and add a brilliant burst of color to a city that is rapidly losing its green space.
That being said, this development is designed for a very specific, wealthier market, a trend that displaces Moroccans who have lived in the city for decades – if not longer. Hopefully government planners will remain loyal to residents who bring immeasurable cultural and traditional value to this magnificent coastal city.
