What?

The workshop is built up around an indoor bicycle track (that some of you might know from our 'Sur Place' exhibition). This track, commissioned by Mediamatic, was designed by Dus Architects. The track will serve as the 'city-ring'. Around it we'll create an urban bamboo landscape. Every hour you'll see the structure grow, until it's a massive bamboo-constructed city.
