BAMBOO U 11-DAY INTENSIVE WORKSHOP
After learning about the Green School and watching Elora Hardy’s TED Talk "Magical houses, made of bamboo"(www.ted.com/talks/elora_hardy..., Justin and I decided to attend Bamboo U. And so, we joined 32 other participants from over 20 countries to learn everything bamboo! We learned about the entire life cycle of bamboo, from sustainable forestry to design and construction.
The curriculum provided both theoretical and applied knowledge. We listened in on over 15 hours of classroom lectures and then participated in 11+ hands-on workshops.
The program included: bamboo forestry, harvesting, preservation, traditional carpentry and craftsmanship, engineering, model making and full-scale construction, and the fundamentals of sustainable bamboo architecture. The world’s top bamboo experts, including bamboo innovators, entrepreneurs, engineers, artists, and designers, were our instructors.
Our fellow classmates were students, engineers, architects, designers, artists, and entrepreneurs. Justin and I were in many ways the least experienced, comparatively, but that sometimes gave us a slight advantage as we didn’t have to “unlearn” some things. We listened, participated, and absorbed the new material through a fresh lens.
BAMBOO U IN A NUTSHELL
The Bamboo U program is a filled with knowledge, innovation, and uniquely curated experiences. We concluded each day with happily exhausted bodies and delightfully overflowing minds.
We graduated Bamboo U with a set of tools to help us build our upcoming project in the Philippines! Above all, we learned the essentials of bamboo construction while falling deeper in love with this versatile wild grass.
More importantly, Justin and I are now part of a special bamboo family! The best part of the program was meeting the diverse group of international classmates and facilitators from various backgrounds. The full-time curriculum encouraged us all to become friends immediately, as we worked hand-in-hand building models, retractable yurts, and full-scale reciprocal towers.
