  • You've never seen buildings like this. The stunning bamboo homes built by Elora Hardy and her team in Bali twist, curve and surprise at every turn. They defy convention because the bamboo itself is so enigmatic. No two poles of bamboo are alike, so every home, bridge and bathroom is exquisitely unique. In this beautiful, immersive talk, she shares the potential of bamboo, as both a sustainable resource and a spark for the imagination. "We have had to invent our own rules," she says.

    Dear ones, I'm Brazilian. I'm an architect and civil engineer. Everything that you have shown up so far fits and is being considered in my post doctoral thesis. It is a time when we need to reconcile millennial teachings of construction talk and negotiate with modern arrogance of infrastructure about sustainability. I believe and I support 100% your concept. I will soon be going to Bali to visit your project and I can already say that the future of humanity depends on initiatives like this one. With all my affection respect and love for the planet. We should have people like you multiplied by 1000000000000.

    I did live in a bamboo house when I was younger in Thailand, though it was much simpler and we didn't have a toilet nor running water. We had to collect rain water with a system built on the roof which allowed to fill two huge jars - we used that water for everything, from drinking to showering. Traditional houses built by people in Asia are very beautiful and comfortable, you just need to add mosquito nets, solar panels (or other sustainable sources of energy) and eventually have a well for running water. Here in Cambodia, people make something called a compost toilet where basically by mixing your feces with other ingredients you get great compost for your vegetable garden which doesn't smell and look just like soil. Basically, if you can manage to grow your own food as well then you are done. You can do everything yourself; we don't need luxury items anymore, we need a comfy and practical place which we can call home also because most of us don't have a lot of money and still wish to live a happy and comfortable life.

      How well does bamboo do when the house settles over time? My home was built in 1936, and I had to replace a small, 6 pane french window that opens out, and my son left it open for over a year, so when I went to shut it, it wouldn't shut, didn't fit the window frame anymore, that's how much the house had settled in one year. Since bamboo is so light & curved (and I assume don't match perfectly), would that make it settle even worse? It seems like a bamboo home would eventually get really warped.

    I first came to Bali in 1976, when the island was little more than sweeping rice fields, pristine beaches and happy-go-lucky natives. Then the island got ‘discovered.’ Today the rice fields and beaches are buried under tons of concrete and mountains of garbage. Millions of tourists clamor over every square inch, the traffic is worse than downtown LA, and rich foreigners exploit the land with expensive 'environmental friendly' villas like this. Where once stood stands of teak, mahogany and rosewood, now stand another convenience store - and good luck finding any of that 'environmentally friendly' bamboo for your dream house.

      I'm sure they were paid enough to compel them to work, I'll assume they enjoyed it more than a Tim Hortons worker here enjoys working to afford a sketchy apartment, bus pass and some low end food. I'd do construction work as a slave before working in retail on min wage. Working without learning is worse than any job that offers knowledge, and they have an almost limitless learning opportunity working with an abundant material here. People can be compelled to work for reasons beyond lucrative compensation, which in itself is not enough for most craftspeople.

    Another useful technology in implementing Bamboo in "conventional buildings" are "Engineered Bamboo Products"
    Essentially you cut the bamboo to standard lengths, then run it to something akin to a "log splitter", then these sticks/sections are planed. They can be processed via a variety of techniques (steam, heat, pressing, shredding, splitting, etc) into something akin to plywood, oriented strand lumber, etc. It is not designed/marketed for structural use per se but see "Bamboo Flooring" / "Bamboo Countertops"
    It can in essence though be substituted for "2x4's" and plywood sheets among other similar things. I think these "drop in solutions" would be much easier to implement / more widespread (although those Magical Bamboo Palaces look amazing and i would love to see more things in that style! )

There are not many places left where regular people can go for an affordable vacation. I'm glad I got to go when times were better. I lived on the beach and surfed in Bali for 3 months, rented a basic hut and cooked ,went out to eat and the whole trip cost me about $1000. Those days are gone been replaced with big expensive resorts and the one percent .

    I love bamboo, 'guadua" (accent on the fist "a") we call it in Colombia. Although the structure shown here are pretty, it is design with too much bamboo everywhere, it looks cluttered. Guadua has two important characteristics: it is so strong that it does not need many columns to hold it on corridors and balcony awnings , so one can "fly" the roof almost 9 feet out without worrying the bamboo is going to bend or brake. The other characteristic is that it lasts "forever". We have a joke stating that guadua lasts longer than the great grand parents' "bacinilla" or bacinica which is used under the bed for 50 years, then is used for 20 years as a flower pot and then is left out on a lot for another 100 years.Well, bamboo lasts longer than a "bacinilla'. If anyone's interested or want to see beauty, check the colombian bamboo houses.

    I grew up in a small village of Braddock Heights Maryland in the countryside which fortunately was directly across the road from a huge patch of pristine bamboo. It was my personal fantasyland which intrigued me throughout the year as a child to no end.
    After big snowstorms this (still green) magnificent swath was bent over from the gravitational pull and weight of the snow just low enough for my skinny body to clamber way up top and lay down on and blissfully gaze up at the sky. I was in heaven. This abandoned nursery was flanked by GIGANTIC spruce trees also covered in snow with pinecones the size of toasters. A small stream meandered throughout and in the summer guaranteed all sorts of flora and fauna with big and small creatures.
    Wow
    I forgot how much fun i had in there. I miss it.

      From a different point of view than yours ... in a different cultural context ... it is NOT condecending or degrading. It has to do with the fact of acknowledging that there are regions in the world which are less developed and are in "a very bad shape" financially and industrially. This is more than just a reminder that richer countries need to help others ... It is ment to give room for applying different "rules" for these countries and their specific needs ...
      But of course cultural context also does change over decades and centuries.

    • @Roo2ooR
      @Roo2ooR 4 года назад +11

      @@dimago11 Certainly the uniformity of our manufactured building materials we commonly use does make them easier in many ways to work with. But other traits of bamboo such as its flexibility, its ability to span long distances without support, and its light weight make it easier to work with in those ways. The biggest reduction in the cost of bamboo as a building material compared to traditional building materials like tree lumber is the rate at which viable, appropriately sized plants can be grown, harvested, and replenished is a fraction of what it takes to produce tree lumber. Much more bamboo can be produced in much less time using much less land and is much easier to harvest. This all drives its cost down significantly lower than tree lumber. If you believe traditional materials are cheaper than bamboo I challenge you to build comparable structures to these in her video out of those commonly used materials and see what those buildings will cost you. First the materials themselves will be much more expensive. Second the amount of building materials required to support those structures and span those open spaces without center supports will be greater. It will require more traditional materials to build similar structures because it will require beefier supports, thicker floor and ceiling joists, and most likely require more expensive steel I-beams to cover the vast open spaces without obtrusive center supports.. The nature of bamboo enables it to span great distances with very narrow, hollow light weight structural supports which results in less building material being required to support the structure...meaning a smaller amount of building material that is much less expensive to produce is required. That translates into a significantly lower building costs.

      @@Roo2ooR As long as you have a small army of highly skilled craftsmen you may next to nothing to weave floors and ceilings together... You have to face it maybe it can be optimised to a point where it is as good or better than traditional building but this entire thing relies on hard, long and arduous labour which if you paid them like normal tradesmen in America would be paid would be completely unaffordable. The time these people spent on building that house will be astronomical compared to traditional building. This is not realistically sustainable. It was only possible there because there is an excess of tradesmen, it is a poor country and nobody is building these kinds of things yet. If everyone needs these craftsmen their wages go up and nobody will be able to afford them anymore. There may very well be promise in it if you can create an industry and standards that match those of traditional building. Otherwise it is just an interesting experiment but little more. You can make a house out of plastic bottles or legos, solid granite or glass as well that doesn't mean it could ever become standard building practice which is determined by cost, sustainability and availibility.
