Abstract
The design is inspired by the ancient rattan ball for sports. Through researches on its material and structure, the beautiful shape and solid characteristics of the rattan ball help us deepen the design. Combined with traditional Chinese bamboo weaving technologies, a simple and stable structure is designed. The design uses the good flexibility of bamboo to form a spherical grid structure. Woven bamboo strips restrict each other to ensure the firmness of the structure. The spherical grid structure allows the air in and out, with changing light and shadow. A membrane is used to shield sun and rain. Structural analysis was also carried out to check the deformation of the structure and the stress strength of components.
