Arunachal Pradesh’s 1st Ever Airport Has Gate Built of Bamboo & Cane

Arunachal Pradesh’s 1st Ever Airport Has Gate Built of Bamboo & Cane

STUDIOARO, a sustainable architecture firm, installs a magnificent structure for the first-ever airport at Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh. With this, STUDIOARO solidifies its position in the eco-friendly architecture space.

The structure, which is the gateway to the airport, is built over a 2,500 sq ft. area in the shape of the Great Hornbill, the state bird of Arunachal Pradesh. It is built entirely of bamboo and cane and has a height of 23 ft and a width of 82 ft. The installation was completed in 5 months and took 15 bamboo artisans to shape.

Regarding the inspiration for the structure, Aroty Panyang, Founder & Principal Architect, of STUDIOARO, says, “As airports represent flight and the first airplanes were inspired by the flight of birds, it was important to consider this aspect in the design of the Donyi Polo airport gate. The structure draws inspiration from the Great Hornbill, the state bird of Arunachal Pradesh. We studied all the aspects of this charismatic bird - the features, the form, and the flight. Some of the most striking characteristics were the beak and how majestic it is in relation to the size of the body and the bird’s great wingspan. These features were incorporated into the design of the gate.”

She further added, "The entry gate to the new Donyi Polo airport, built with the themes of bamboo, a material which has a deep tradition and relationship with the region, and the Great Hornbill, the state bird of Arunachal Pradesh, gives a sense of pride to the people of Arunachal Pradesh. It will undoubtedly inspire current and future generations about this great state's cultures and traditions."

Over the past few years, there has been a significant increase in the use of bamboo in modern architecture. Due to the development of new science in the treatment and preservation of this unique material, as well as its structural qualities, the viability of incorporating bamboo in modern structures has been established across the industry. 

Also, due to its traits of being a renewable material, it has been increasingly adopted by modern sustainable architects. In fact, some of the most awarded modern sustainable architecture projects are built with bamboo. However, this is a trend that has been dominated by architecture firms primarily in South East Asia and South America. 

By building such a landmark structure in India, STUDIOARO has cemented the place of this country’s contribution to this emerging movement. Looking forward, Bamboo will surely be one of the most treasured and explored of all building materials, and will continue to make its mark on architecture as a whole.
