    Bamboo Dome Opening

    Bamboo building virtuoso Vo Trong Nghia designed and constructed the gorgeous bamboo
    Water and Wind Cafe in the Binh Duong province of Vietnam. Not only does the domed
    structure the versatility and strength of bamboo, which is a rapid-growing renewable material,
    it was also built without the use of even one nail

    Vietnamese architects Vo Trong Nghia have constructed a thatched bamboo dome at the
    centre of a lake in Binh Duong Province (+ slideshow).

    Stepping stones lead across the water and inside the Wind and Water Bar, which is used as a
    venue for music performances, local meetings and other events.
    The wooden structure of the building is assembled from lengths of bamboo, which are bound
    together and bent into arches.
    A circular opening at the centre of the roof lets hot air escape.
    Other bamboo projects on Dezeen include a temporary shelter in China and a pavilion in
    Taiwan.

    Here's some more text from Vo Trong Nghia:

    wNw bar
    The wNw bar is located in an artificial lake next to the wNw caf. To create a contrasting
    space to the cafe, the bar is designed as an enclosed space which can be used for different
    purposes such as music concerts, shows, ceremonies etc.

    Above: plan

    A structural bamboo arch system was designed for this dome; 10m high and spanning 15m
    across. The main frame is made by 48 prefabricated units, each of them is made of several
    bamboo elements bound together. The building uses natural wind energy and the cool water
    from the lake to create natural air-ventilation. On the top of the roof there is a hole with a
    diameter of 1.5m for the evacuation of hot air from the inside.
    Above: site plan

    As a new architectural element, the style of the two buildings of wNw becomes the focus of
    the landscape and work in harmony with the surrounding residential area. Although the
    function of the buildings is a bar, it has its own uniqueness and has become a landmark of
    urban landscape. It represents not only modernism but also traditions. The building gives a
    luxurious feeling but at the same time remains gentle in its atmosphere. The bar is now also
    used for town meetings and other social activities.

    The two buildings originated from nature. They now merge in harmony with nature. With
    time they will return to nature.
