Took a tour of Big Bambu yesterday on the roof of the met. This work by Doug+Mike Starn is so completely organic--a rooftop bamboo jungle gym made only out of bamboo and held together by special rock-climbing string. Walking up in the sky on these narrow wave-like pathways felt so free and ethereal and so ancient-day yet forward thinking. This installation is really really fun and the experience is a must. I plan to revisit it a couple more times this summer as it expands further across the roof of the met and up to 40ft into the air.
Afterward hit up the cafeteria for the AMAZING salad bar and some beers.
