Bamboo Pavilions for Barra Slow Festival

 The project, consiting of two bamboo pavilions, namely Tea Bamboo Pavilion and Navy Yard Bamboo Pavilion, responds to the decline of bamboo scaffolding craftsmanship, listed on Macao’s Intangible Cultural Heritage Inventory in 2017. Rather than treating it as a static heritage object, the project reinterprets bamboo scaffolding as an active spatial and cultural system. Drawing from research into bamboo theatres and construction sites in Macao, Impromptu Projects translates its construction logic into temporary architectural installations and civic frameworks. By engaging local craftsmen, institutions, and communities, the project extends bamboo beyond its conventional role as construction support, positioning it as a medium for public space, cultural exchange, and contemporary architectural experimentation.
