“…This can be seen from segment after segment that continues to rise, from small to large. Bamboo relentlessly advances itself to get taller and grow (Hailemariam, Amede, Hailemariam, & Nuramo, 2022;Meyer, 2012;Yani, 2016). The use of bamboo, according to the local community, symbolizes agility and strength (Village Head or Kades).…”

This ethnographic study delves into the Mbelu’ Pandang tradition, a unique cultural practice held in Labuan Kertasari Village, West Sumbawa, Indonesia. This tradition, which originated from the Selayar tribe, involves intricate rituals such as the rolling of pandan leaves and the slicing of pandanus, performed during the commemoration of the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday. The study aimed to explore the historical roots, philosophical meanings, and contemporary significance of the Mbelu’ Pandang tradition, emphasizing its socio-cultural and religious values. Data was collected over three months using participant observation, in-depth interviews with 13 key informants, including village elders, religious, and community leaders, and qualitative content analysis was employed to interpret the findings. Results indicate that the tradition serves multiple functions: fostering community cohesion, acting as a conduit for religious expression, and reinforcing cultural identity among the villagers. It also highlights the efforts to preserve this tradition through local festivals and community-based initiatives, which sustain cultural heritage and promote regional tourism. The study contributes to understanding the dynamics of cultural preservation within minority tribes and offers insights into the complex interplay between tradition, religion, and modernity in rural Indonesia.

This paper studies the development of a semi-automated process for designing and fabricating node-based lattice spatial structures using bamboo as an ecological material. The study addresses the challenges of integrating bamboo—a naturally variable material—into spatial structures and was conducted through a hybrid workshop at the Digital Craft House, University of Art, Tehran, during COVID-19. Traditional CAD tools are often limited when applied to non-industrialized, organic materials like bamboo. This research introduces a tailored computational workflow and a semi-automated fabrication apparatus explicitly designed to create complex, freeform bamboo structures. Combining online and in-person sessions allowed participants to engage with both the theoretical and practical aspects of the design-to-fabrication process. This approach enabled the continuous development and refinement of custom tools and methods during COVID. The workshop showcased how synthesizing advanced computational approaches and natural materials could trigger new architectural solutions and autonomy by developing a single-layer, freeform spatial structure, promoting ecological and advanced architectural practices.

Bamboo is known for its ability to grow at a high speed, with strong sustainability indicators and remarkable strength properties. However, despite these qualities, the practice of designing bamboo structures is still in its early stages in many regions. This paper aims to review the current approaches to structural analysis and design for bamboo structures as found in the existing literature. Through this comprehensive review, this study seeks to identify existing research gaps and areas that require further exploration. The limited design philosophy for bamboo structures can be attributed to the scarcity of studies on the characteristics and mechanics of bamboo material. These findings highlight the necessity for more comprehensive guidelines and standards to enhance the structural analysis and design of bamboo structures. This study identifies gaps in the following areas: lack of consideration for bamboo fiber distribution, lack of guidelines for load parameters specific to bamboo structures, inadequate coverage of bamboo culm connections, inadequate coverage on connection stiffness, limited scope on connection types, and species-specific limitations in standards.
