Under the Starry Vault vs Bamboo AR

Come and discover the world of Elsa Mroziewicz, visual artist, and Cécile Palusinski, author and producer of sound content, through a collection of artistic sound works in augmented reality. With ‘Floating Cities’, ‘The Universal Forest’ and ‘The Giant Baobab Pop-up’, you can discover poetic worlds that question the relationship between man and nature. With the fresco of the French-speaking world, you can also discover the wealth of French-speaking territories.

Explore the pioneering work of Dr Kristof Crolla and Dr Garvin Goepel on the integration of digital technology into bamboo architecture. By downloading the augmented reality (AR) app, you can access an immersive experience that allows you witness the physical scale models of their bamboo projects at full scale through holograms made visible directly onto your mobile device. The exhibition includes seminal projects like the 2015 “ZCB Bamboo Pavilion” in Hong Kong, which celebrated its 10th anniversary; “MemutAR”, a bamboo pavilion created for the Bamboo World Congress in Taiwan in 2024; “Bale Timbang”, a community project built with Hong Kong students for a farming community in Bali, 2025; and the “Bamboo U Dome”, a lecture hall, workshop, and cultural event space at the Bamboo U campus in Bali, 2024. These projects utilised innovative computational workflows throughout their design, fabrication, and construction process, including AR- driven holographic instruction methods. This approach offers a far more intuitive and comprehensive alternative to traditional construction drawings, thus simplifying construction, making complex geometries more accessible—the philosophy of "Building Simplexity."
