Zen and Yoga Architecture Made of Bamboo and Copper in Bali, Indo
Share:
Conveying a sense of lightness and connection with nature, the Lumi Shala, a meditation and yoga space in Bali, Indonesia, is enveloped by majestic natural surroundings. The building is constructed using bamboo "petals" and covered with shiny copper tiles.
The project stands as a testament to the unique blend of local architecture and vibrant cultural traditions, showcasing timeless values about the deep relationship between nature and humanity, and the importance of this connection in meditation practices.
Key Features of the Project:
- Unique Bamboo Structure: The petal-shaped roof is created using thick bamboo frames at both ends, connected by a curved bamboo frame that bends in two directions to form the distinctive shape.
- Diverse Bamboo Arrangements: In addition to using bamboo frames, the bamboo roofing is layered, allowing soft light to filter through, creating an open structure that connects with the sky through natural light.
- Material Utilization: Arched gaps between the bamboo frames form openings, providing access to the central space, while offering panoramic views upon entering.
- Connection to the Earth: The bamboo roof is supported by a series of walls and floors made from clay bricks and local earth, inviting people to reconnect with the earth, much like our ancestors did thousands of years ago.

Unlocking Multi-Credit Synergies through Integrative Design in LEED v4
The realization of benefits associated with LEED starts with a transformation of the design process itself. Rather than treating credits as separate components on a checklist, an Integrative Process encourages project teams to identify synergies and interrelationships across multiple categories. By conducting early research and analysis during the "discovery" phase, teams can implement specific building features that "stack" points, achieving high levels of performance and cost-effectiveness.
