In 2002, after finishing my architecture studies, I was curious about sustainable design. I saw potential in bamboo and an opportunity to work with tribal craftsmen in Dang. We taught them design, they taught us bamboo construction.

🎉 Giant Grass is 20 years old! From bamboo curiosity to participatory design, we've spent two decades blending nature, design and hands-on learning for a more sustainable way of living. 🌱 Thank you for being part of our bamboo story. Here's to the next chapter! 💚

We haven't updated you on the Bamboo Biophilia Project in a while. It's nearly finished, with all structural systems in place. Here are some photos while we tidy up around the structure. It's already being used as a shelter, with bamboo for other projects stored underneath.

As we wait for the Bamboo Biophilia to be completed, here are some visualizations of its potential use. The 1300m² roof structure in Atlanta, USA is designed by Giant Grass and built by Jorg Stamm.

One of the side projects at the bamboo unboxed workshop in Sumatra was a bamboo hammock. It was finished by the craftsman at the Orangutan Haven and became a success.

As part of the Bamboo Biophilia project, we are grouting some of the joints with cement mortar. This increases the sheer resistance in the joints and the strength of the connection for bamboo construction.

At the end of the Bamboo Unboxed Workshop, we had a procession to move The Reciprocal Dome to its intended location. Watch until the end to see what happens.

More bamboo for the Bamboo Biophilia Project is on the way. The bamboo is color-coded by diameter to make it easier to select and sort during construction.

Sometimes, life gets a little intense—especially when you're running hands-on construction workshops! 🛠️ Taking a moment to pause, reflect, and recharge can make all the difference. 💭✨ Remember, even the busiest builders need a break! 💪 #Workshops #Recharge #KeepBuilding

In September last year, we gave a keynote and ran a bamboo construction workshop at Hands-On Learning's 25th anniversary conference. What a fantastic group of people.

At the Bamboo Unboxed Workshop in Sumatra, participants tried building a bamboo reciprocal dome. Here are some photos of the process. Any guesses what the dome was for?

Bamboo's flexibility allows you to tension bamboo poles to create a curved beam. Here's the curved fish belly truss for our bamboo biophilia project, formed in this way.
