The Exhibition Garden of the International Network for Bamboo and Rattan

The Exhibition Garden of the International Network for Bamboo and Rattan is called “Eye of Bamboo”．Its theme is “Creative Bamboo and Rattan，Green Life”．The design aims at promoting the development of bamboo and rattan culture and green ecology，showing the commercial prospects of bamboo building materials and bamboo buildings，feeling the charm of bamboo and rattan architecture and enjoying the fun of bamboo and rattan products．The garden adopts a modern way to interpret and transform the traditional mode of the “exhibition hall in the exhibition garden”．Through the deconstruction and integration of the exhibition hall and garden， the exhibition hall space is embedded in the garden to create an organic whole．The function space of “Eye of Bamboo”is distributed under the garden supported by the bamboo arch structure，connecting the entrance and the main space of each exhibition hall through a rattan－covered building spindle．Interlaced indoor and outdoor space，and natural light through the magical garden“incision”into the indoor，greatly enhance people’s comfort in the garden．There are three main spaces from the atrium to the exhibition hall， which show the innovative combination and application of round bamboo and engineering bamboo．The first main area of the exhibition hall is the INBAR exhibition space along the main axis of the building and the two－storey Meishan exhibition area within the main building； the second area is the theatre projection hall； the third area is the tea house，coffee shop，bookstore and gift shop and other functional areas，including the conference hall and VIP lounge．The trend and geometric distribution of the whole garden coincide with the exhibition hall，forming a fluctuating and vivid whole．
