PART 2 - AMPHIBIOUS STRUCTURES

Materials used - Bamboo, Plastic drums, nylon ropes

School and the healthcare centre have an amphibious foundation which works on the principle of buoyancy. The foundation enables the structures to rise with the water and float during the floods. The vertical guidance posts helps to avoid any kind of lateral movement and get back to its original position after the water recedes. The foundation consists of a bamboo frame within which recycled plastic drums are placed and then they are attached with the bamboo columns and the vertical guidance posts.
