This exhibit encompasses a set of drawings, prototypes, and models produced to explore the intricacies of a bamboo pavilion to be built on the Segovia campus of IE University. It is a student design-build project, under the umbrella of the Urban Ecology Initiative, led by two faculty from the IE School of Architecture and Design, Cem Kayatekin and Dinithi Iddawela.

The project forms part of a broader “urban farm” project for the Segovia campus funded and supported by the IE Sustainability Office and the IE Foundation, aimed at eliminating biodegradable waste on campus.
