Second week, we worked in BMS college and built a tensile structure in collaboration with BMS students. We took bamboo pieces which were already split and weaved them together, securing the joints with zip ties.
We experimented with the bamboo structure placing it in different ways and created different forms with it.
Later we weaved more peices and sharpened one edge to put it into soil.
After fixing the tensile bamboo structure, we started making cob.
To support the structure we placed bricks around it and then started weaving mud/clay.
we added a mud bench inside our structure to make it more comfortable...
Then we worked a little on the curves for aesthetic reasons...
Finally we cut out small windows and a door. This was the best part....
Later we cut bamboo off the door opening..
We didn't really complete the structure as we didn't have enough time... plastering etc was left..
