IBUKU開創了一種新的設計詞彙，在這過程中創造了自己的規則，且通過我們的旅程為世界提供新的規劃方案。如今，我們將再次提供了另一種前所未有的結構設計，它不僅是一件令讚嘆的竹製建築作品，也將作為輕型結構的參考範本。
IBUKU has pioneered a new design vocabulary, making our own rules along the way, and offering new solutions to the world through our journey. Today, we offer yet another design solution, an unprecedented structure which is not only an incredible piece of bamboo architecture, but will serve as a reference in lightweight structures altogether.
Arc 是位在印尼峇里島世界知名綠色校園裡的最新建築。學校12年來不斷突破界限和擴展視野，此結構成為學校中的最新里程碑，為全球可持續教育樹立了更高的標準。作為此類的首座建築，是由一系列14公尺高竹製交錯構成的拱門，跨度達19公尺，通過反向彎曲獲得強度的抗彈結構，相互連接增加強度。
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.
這是一項工程學的壯舉；它需要數月的研究和發展以及量身定做細節的精細調整校對。成果是一個精緻的設計，擁有絕美的美學，這證明了IBUKU致力於在建築和設計領域拓展視野的承諾。
The Arc is a feat of engineering; it required months of research and development and fine tuning of tailor-made details. The result is a refined design with unparalleled beauty, which stands as a testament to IBUKU’s commitment to expanding horizons in architecture and design.
Arc採用了自然界創造大空間與最小結構的強大策略之一。在人類的胸腔中，一系列受壓縮的肋骨被一層具張力的靈活肌肉和皮膚所固定，這為肺部創造了薄而堅固的外殼，而應用在Arc的情況下，結構在壓縮中的拱門被張力的抗彈網格殼結構固定，這些範圍似乎懸掛在空中不可思議細薄的拱門之間，為空間帶來了一種奇思妙想、細膩和美感。儘管，網格殼看似懸掛於拱門之下，但實際上卻支撐著它們。
The Arc employs one of nature’s greatest strategies for creating large spaces with minimal structure. Within a human ribcage, a series of ribs working in compression are held in place by a tensioned flexible layer of muscle and skin. This creates a thin but strong encasement for the lungs. In the case of The Arc, arches working in compression are held in place by tensioned anticlastic gridshells. These fields of gridshells appear to drape across the spaces between impossibly thin arches soaring overhead, giving a whimsy, intimacy and beauty to the space. Although, the gridshells appear to hang from the arches, they actually hold them up.
Arc的幾何結構調配違反直覺，使得該結構達到了平衡狀態，這意味著對結構材料的需求大幅減少，也同時說明著這是一個前所未有的內部空間，且沒有借助任何斜撐桁架。
The Arc's counterintuitive orchestration of geometry brings the structure into a state of equilibrium, which means a dramatically decreased necessity for structural material. This also means an unprecedented inner volume with an impossibly thin structure and without any distracting trusses.
