Designing Better Bamboo Buildings

Dear Bamboo Tribe and Friends,

Better bamboo Buildings (BBB) is a platform for bamboo design information and insights reaching out via Instagram (@betterbamboobuildings)and a bamboo blog (www.betterbamboobuildings.com). BBB has produced an accessible and affordable bamboo building design course.

This 8-week course provides a comprehensive view of bamboo design and imparts specific principles and techniques of putting together a bamboo building, the structural forms and materials palettes available, drawings and modelling and the jointing systems practiced. It is suited to those in the architecture and design fields whether as professionals or students or aspiring bamboo practitioners and will take you into the design and build aspects from site identification, early inception design to completion/maintenance and emphasizing bamboo’s design positives but also its design pitfalls.

Our pilot course starting mid January 2021 has been sold out before its launch and the next course is scheduled to start in May 2021. It would be really appreciated if you can share this (course promo jpeg attached) or recommend it to anyone in your network who may be interested to attend. We will consider offering reduced rates for deserving candidates from LMIC's (lower to middle income countries). Anyone can register interest and obtain details of course content and fees by emailing us at info@betterbamboobuildings.com or leaving a comment below with your email address.

Thanking you in advance for your support and time.

‘As surely as the sun rises every morning, bamboo will also rise’
