'baa'-mbooeD is a conceptual modular sheep farm system which utilizes bamboo to enable the nurtured sheeps to gain an optimal balance between sunlight and shading, which translates into a better quality of wools produced.
The system comes with 2 main types of modules, ones with void on the roof, and ones without void on the roof. The type with void on the roof also consists of different types of modules depending on where the void is located; corner, side, and middle. In application, which type of modules to be used will depend on the kind of site the system is decided to be placed in.
Before application, a sun and shading analysis should be done to determine the best module composition in according to the chosen site. The optimal composition should be chosen based on amount of healthy sunlight to be received by both humans' and sheeps', while also considering movement and workflow efficiency for the farm's logistic's needs. Site conditions, such as; pre-existing trees and contours, would be accomodated by the flexibility of the modules. Voids on the roof will accomodate the position of existing trees and the preferred interior in order to maximize efficiency and workflow of the farm, while the flexibility of bambbo's length will accomodate for the different contours which it will be placed on.
Below is an example of 'baa'-mbooeD modules being applied to a site in Rote Ndao, East Nusa Tenggara, which was projected to be an optimal site for the system based on it's availability of bamboo as a local material, also for it's dry but breezy climate which is perfect for the sheeps' livelihood.
