The Arc at Green School Bali

Environment Design
Written By Global Summit Association

The Arc is the newest building on campus at the world-renowned Green School in Bali, Indonesia. The school has a 12-year history of breaking boundaries and expanding horizons and the Arc is the newest benchmark in that history, raising the bar for sustainable education around the world. The first building of its kind ever made, The Arc at Green School is built from a series of intersecting 14-meter tall bamboo arches spanning 19 meters, interconnected by anticlastic gridshells which derive their strength from curving in two opposite directions.

IBUKU has pioneered a new design vocabulary, making its own rules along the way, and offering new solutions to the world through its journey.
