EARTH & BAMBOO
We want to promote earth and bamboo as excellent materials for sustainable architecture. Earthen and bamboo architecture has not only a long tradition in human settlement, but it also offers many advantages for contemporary architecture. BASEhabitat wants to foster the consideration of socio-cultural, economical and ecological aspects in the architectural design and construction. This is a big challenge in our projects in developing countries, but it is the same in the western world.
Therefore we want to establish a global network and enforce exchange of knowledge and experiences in the field of earthen and bamboo architecture.
Who can participate?
We address students, practicioners and lecturers from all over the world, who are interested in building with earth and bamboo.
Different disciplines, craftsmen/women, engineers, people in education, ... everybody is welcome!
