Abstract

the conventional notion of architecture and the built environment is that they are meant to be relatively static and final, once constructed according to the well prepared plans based on users’ needs and wants. That notion, however, overlooks the reality that change is inevitable during a building’s lifetime. That change arrives in the form of userrelated factors such as new or growing functional requirements and aesthetic aspirations. The change has affected and will continue to affect the dwelling habits, which in turn will affect the way the built environment is perceived and delivered. The conventional construction method that relies on the assumption of a static and ascertain future will find it difficult to sustainably and ecologically accommodate the changes. The transformable capability of architecture and the built environment, supported with the use of natural and renewable material, can offer a plethora of solutions to that contemporary challenge. The deployable structural system, which has the ability to transform from compact to predetermined configuration, offers a prospective opportunity to create building structures that can adapt to the necessity of both rapid and gradual alternations. Coupled with the use of bamboo, a notable renewable material, the promotion of deployable bamboo structure(s) will have a positive impact on the effort to realize the sustainable architecture. This research explored and compared four designs of deployable bamboo structures with planar and spatial scissor-like elements (SLE) systems. Through these experimental projects, the research aims to discover the application of the deployable structures with appropriate bamboo technology to meet the challenge of transformations of sizes and dimension in building; and the generated variations in building form, space and dimension. The research concludes that deployable bamboo structures with the SLE planar system have the size and functional adaptability to create more variants of building form, space, and dimension to the user’s flexibility. Meanwhile, the greatest potency of S-SLE is the compactness, because it has fewer additional elements and it even has self-locking mechanism.
