These are even more beautiful in real life. I don't know why they didn't show it, but the same lab has also built a structure of tubes made of bamboo strips that arch up and over a seating area into a dome. The tubes start at planters and there are vines growing up onto the structure. It's my new favorite thing in my neighborhood. Thanks EPFL!

They didn't show it because it doesn't use this C-Tube technique.

  It looks like the dome could be related to the example they show of "optimized network" organization of C-tubes — if, that is, the structure that comprises the dome webbing is comprised of C-tubes.

    The dome webbing is made of strips of bamboo, not any kind of tube.
