Kontum Indochine Café, Kontum, Vietnam, 2013 designed by Vo Trong Nghia Architects
The roof of the main building is supported by a pure bamboo structure composed of 15 inverse-cone-shaped units. The form of these columns was inspired by a traditional Vietnamese basket for fishing which gradually narrows from the top toward the base. This open structure maximizes the wind flow into the building during the summer, while resisting harsh storms during the windy season. -- ArchDaily
