In this article, design and construction of a temporary pavilion using reed as structural material are reported. Recently, reed is little utilized with the decline of reed industries. The aim of this study is to develop a new effective use of reed as tourist resources. To realize the structure of the building only by reed, a method to make joint between reeds quickly are developed. Because of very light weight of the building, enough rigidity and strength against wind load are required. We applied the dome-like shape and “Semirandom truss” to the building and evaluated its structural behavior and performance.
