Contemporary bamboo buildings with curved structures have recently gained popularity despite their
challenging nature to design and construct. The inherent material characteristic must be incorporated
into the design process, often called form-finding. The typical form-finding approach in Indonesia
incorporates physical mediums known to be complex and laborious. On the contrary, the digital medium
is rarely used due to the lack of tools capable of performing quick and accurate form-finding while
incorporating local bamboo and bending methods. This paper showcases BambuFlex, a digital tool
that performs quick and accurate form-finding based on local bamboo and bending approaches in
Indonesia. The algorithm’s capability was validated by comparing its accuracy and real-time material
feedback with the conventional physical method. The result shows that BambuFlex is able to provide
accurate and materially informed form-finding, but it has some limitations. To conclude, BambuFlex
can complement the conventional physical form finding, allowing architects to explore more design
alternatives rapidly.
