Alex Knapp celebrates an ingenious piece of engineering:
[Alexander Vittouris's James Dyson Award] entry, called the Ajiro, is a bicycle style transport that’s composed of bamboo – but with a twist. Rather than going through the complicated process of steaming and bending bamboo to suit his shape, he actually used a reusable skeleton to guide the shape of the bamboo as it grew. In other words, the frame of the vehicle was “grown” rather than manufactured.
E.D. Kain imagines applications.
