You can bend bamboo using heat 🤸. It's not easy, but it's possible!
We built our very first building using heat-bent bamboo: The Kul Kul Farm Kitchen. Crafted using small diameter bamboo harvested from the farm, built with students during the 11 Day Build & Design Course.
Bamboo Yurts are our favorite buildings to build with students!
This year we built 5 bamboo yurts including 2 mud and bamboo yurts. We’re dreaming of turning everything we’ve learned and mastered into an online course. Stay Tuned!
You can build a bamboo structure using no drawings, just augmented reality!
This 20 meter diameter bamboo dome kept us awake at night, but it's coming together beautifully and we’re excited to share the final result.
Bamboo makes for a really beautiful Airbnb
Thank you all ...
For being an integral part of these learnings and breakthroughs. Here's to a bamboo-filled 2024, brimming with growth, learning, and a thriving community!
All OUR best,

The 11-Day Build & Design Course
In collaboration with IBUKU
Immersed in the most beautiful and innovative bamboo environment. Meet the pioneers, the visionaries, the designers and builders who took this under-utilized material and transformed it into the most desired natural building material for bamboo structure design.
The Intro to Bamboo Engineering Online Course
Designed specially for structural engineers, this FREE online course has been created in collaboration with the Base Bahay Foundation, based in the Philippines.Join the course to learn how bamboo's innate properties make it a versatile building material, and how these properties can be maximized and applied in structural design.
