Mexico based designers CO-Lab Design Office have imagined a bamboo pavilion for practicing yoga nestled in the jungles of Tulum. The project is titled Luum Temple draws inspiration from Spanish-Mexican Architect Felix Candela's catenary reinforced concrete shell work. The open-air structure in the beach town will host a variety of programs, including but not limited to yoga, meditations, workshops, and other community gatherings. The local studio made use of five catenary arches that support each other arranged in a circular layout, all of which arches form five different rooflines in a manner that the walls stretch all the way down to the ground to form internal partitions. A thatched roof covers the bamboo construction; this coverage protects the outdoor structure from rain and sun, while still allowing the pavilion to breathe in the humid tropical climate. Bamboo was chosen as the ideal resource because of its sustainability credentials as well as its ability to resist hurricane forces.
