Bamboo offers designers a renewable, fast-growing alternative to conventional building materials. Its structural properties and cultural significance make it relevant for sustainable design across scales, from individual homes to large public works.

The community explores bamboo in residential projects addressing affordability and sustainability, temporary and permanent pavilion structures, retail environments, and large-scale urban installations. Work ranges from grassroots housing initiatives to contemporary design interventions that reconsider bamboo's role in modern architecture.

Bamboo Tower

天人合一 (tiān rén hé yī) is a Chinese philosophical teaching of harmony between man & nature, often overlooked by many in this technology-saturated age. In response to this ever eroding quality of our built environment, we aspire to reintroduce the long lost affiliation of humankind’s innate biological connection with nature through bamboo and architecture.
