Good to be back at Memutar! Finally got to see the AR overlay on top of the as-built bamboo structure and watch the app come to life.
Download Memutar from the App Store to project this pavilion right into your own backyard and let us know if you’d like one of your own!
Check out the full project on the website in the bio, or watch the full AR construction video in an earlier post.

It’s a wrap! Reflecting back at a great exhibition and AR app for the Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture @uabbhk :
Explore the pioneering work of Dr. Kristof Crolla and Dr. Garvin Goepel on the integration of digital technology into bamboo architecture. By downloading the augmented reality (AR) app (BambooAR), you can access an immersive experience that allows you witness the physical scale models of their bamboo projects at full scale through holograms made visible directly onto your mobile device.
The exhibition includes seminal projects like the 2015 “ZCB Bamboo Pavilion” in Hong Kong, which celebrated its 10th anniversary; “MemutAR”, a bamboo pavilion created for the Bamboo World Congress in Taiwan in 2024; “Bale Timbang”, a community project built with Hong Kong students for a farming community in Bali, 2025; and the “Bamboo U Dome”, a lecture hall, workshop, and cultural event space at the Bamboo U campus in Bali, 2024.
These projects utilised innovative computational workflows throughout their design, fabrication, and construction process, including AR- driven holographic instruction methods. This approach offers a far more intuitive and comprehensive alternative to traditional construction drawings, thus simplifying construction, making complex geometries more accessible—the philosophy of “Building Simplexity.”

MemutAR 竹旋幻居 is a design research exhibition project featuring an elegant bamboo pavilion, nested next to a beautiful lake, that was prefabricated by Balinese craftsmen and re-assembled in Taiwan by local contractors using Augmented Reality (AR) technology. It demonstrates how latest cutting-edge AR technology applications in bamboo architecture enable the straightforward construction of non-standard spaces and geometries by combining locally available and overseas specialised skill, thus allowing for the scaling-up and exporting of craft-demanding bamboo projects.

Augmented-Reality guidelines have aided the DMU team to install the physical vinyl’s on site at their exact location without the need of any 2D annotation. This AR approach lead to significant benefits in saving installation time and the reduction of error.
Our collaboration with DMUxLisbon to create an interactive augmented reality installation at the Lisbon Triennial. The installation, entitled ‘DMU Constellations’ celebrated the network of work being done to break down the boundaries of architectural pedagogy and practice even proliferating the walls of the museum itself. Augmented reality revealed the multiple readings and field of connections that produce this network.
