Case Study
At Suzhou International Expo Center Plaza, SWA Group chose to use a fast-growing plant—native bamboo—planted in dense stands to create rooms in contrast to the large plaza. As the 20’ tall plants are not held up a natural forest context, they are braced with a 2’x2’ grid of bamboo stalks 5’ high.
