The structure is 8m³ big with 4 sittings which can fit 4 persons. It is served as a sitting structure for users in the garden to rest. The entire structure I made of bamboo and ropes without any additional materials.

The process and journey of building the bamboo structure is fun yet meaningful. The tattoo stamps on right show my team members emotion and experience about this event. Everyone did their best on their assigned task and I was very proud. Besides, I was assigned to the role of quality check and technical & structural advisor. I was able to divide tasks equally to my members  and kick start the builds.
