竹子农场办公室是位于坦桑尼亚北部Korogwe的一个原型农场的新总部,那里正在种植不同种类的竹子,以评估其作为建筑材料的适用性。农场办公室建筑展示了利用工业竹子的不同方式,包括竹制波纹屋顶板、门、覆层和家具。该项目由建筑师Jakob Knudsen、Hannah Wood和Otis Sloan Brittain设计,Salum Mshamu和Lorenz von Seidlein提供咨询,并由Kiondo Mgumi领导的建筑团队建造。

The Bamboo Farm Office is the new headquarters of a prototype farm in Korogwe, northern Tanzania, where different species of bamboo are being grown to assess their suitability for use as construction materials. The Farm Office building showcases different ways to utilise industrial bamboo, including bamboo corrugated roof sheets, doors,cladding and furniture. The project was designed by architects Jakob Knudsen, Hannah Wood and Otis Sloan Brittain, with consultancy from Salum Mshamu and Lorenz von Seidlein, and constructed by a team of builders headed by Kiondo Mgumi.

该项目与坦桑尼亚的竹子种植历史重新联系在一起,以探索这种碳封存材料在当今建筑中的应用潜力。在相同的时间范围内,竹子的净重是松树等木材的15倍,而且在炎热的热带气候中表现良好。这使得以竹子为基础的建筑产品成为目前建筑市场的一个可行的替代品,而目前的建筑市场偏重于水泥、玻璃、塑料和不可持续的木材。

The project reconnects with the history of bamboo cultivation in Tanzania to explore the potential of this carbon-sequestering material for use in construction today. Bamboo can grow fifteen times the net weight of timber species such as pine over the same timespan and fares well in a hot, tropical climate. This makes bamboo-based construction products a viable alternative in a current construction market currently weighted towards cement, glass, plastic and unsustainably sourced timber.

根据联合国的预测,坦桑尼亚的人口将在未来30年内增加一倍以上,这将涉及到大量的材料资源用于建筑环境的扩展,因此寻找替代材料的选择至关重要。此外,在过去的十年中,坦桑尼亚的森林面积年均净损失最大,位居世界第五,每年净砍伐42.1万公顷。

Finding alternative material options is critical as according to UN projections, Tanzania’s population is predicted to more than double over the next 30 years, which will involve significant material resources directed towards the expansion of the built environment. In addition, Tanzania was ranked fifth in the world for the greatest annual average net loss of forest area over the past decade, felling net421,000 hectares year on year.

竹园办公大楼采用了受亚洲和非洲传统建筑启发的被动式设计原则,这些建筑技术是针对炎热的热带气候而发展的。木材框架创造了大的开口,热质量低,以确保内部空间在白天和晚上都保持凉爽。附属空间,包括一楼的鞋库和厕所,都是用当地生产的砖块进行渲染。

The Bamboo Farm Office building utilises passive design principles inspired by traditional Asian and African architecture, where construction techniques have evolved for a hot, tropical climate. The timber frame creates large openings with low thermal mass to ensure the inside spaces remain cool throughout the day and night. Ancillary spaces, including a boot store and toilet on the ground floor, are enclosed with rendered locally produced bricks.

一楼的共享办公室和一楼的卧室用农用遮阳网和金属网覆盖,上层则用竹子遮挡以保护隐私。一个定制的小厨房、家具和门都是在当地建造的,包括由新成立的Eco-Shelter公司生产的编织竹板面。屋顶是用竹制波纹板固定在木材桁架上建造的。该项目是坦桑尼亚第一个用这些新的竹子产品建造的项目,希望能突出竹子作为该地区未来建筑的可行材料的潜力。

The ground floor shared office and first floor bedrooms are clad in agricultural shade net and wire mesh, with split bamboo screening on the upper floors for privacy. A bespoke kitchenette, furniture and doors were constructed locally, and include woven bamboo board facing produced by start-up Eco-Shelter. The roof is constructed using bamboo corrugated sheets fixed to a timber truss. The project is the first of its kind in Tanzania to be constructed from these novel bamboo products and hopes to highlight bamboo’s potential as a viable material for future buildings in the region.
