- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Thousands of handmade pegs, 18 meter long poles, bare feet, and hundreds of hands. This is what it takes to make a house designed by Elora Hardy. She’s interested in changing the perception of luxury in relation to scarcity and abundance. Her tool? The super grass that is bamboo.
Raised in Ubud, Elora spent 14 years of her young adult life in the United States, where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Tufts University and went on to become sole textile and print designer for Donna Karan Intl. In 2010, Elora returned to Bali to carry on the incredible work of the design-build team that created the world-renowned Green School in Bali, founded by her father John Hardy. She reconnected with the culture and landscape that she loves and today continues to cultivate Balinese artisans alongside innovative designers and architects with the goal of making Bali a global center for sustainable design and bringing those designs to the rest of the world.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
This is one of the most inspiring and heartfelt presentations I have ever seen. . . Elora you are brilliant, and just like the magic fairy, everything you touch turns to gold, even the bamboo. . . Blessings. . .
Our life is abundance,god has given us every thing we need, but it us to make the best use of it , like this great lady of bali.
She is as beautiful as bamboo😍
Crazy mad woman you inspire me, you have set such a high benchmark !!!
Wowww
❤Great!
I love the architecture & this woman!
Get in line old timer. Or you wanna fight me for her?
groovy storybook homes - i was a bamboo guy in Santa Cruz, Calif. USA......for a spell.....look forward to revisiting and much more completely finish and proofing out a special business model .....GREAT AND INSPIRING WORK YOUR ARE DOING
Love your work!!
I want one of these houses! And that bridge, it's so cool - I've never seen one that you walk inside, but there's something so cool about nature that I can't put my finger on. One of my dreams are to make houses around the world out of bamboo. The "Alice in Wonderland" style of these houses make me want to make slides the default way of going doing from one floor to another. Any maybe a manual Ferris wheel (finely balanced, probably) to go up. One day.... Thank you for imagining Elora. And I want to go to your dad's Green School! I'm a teacher by the way.
I've seen similar buildings in Columbia and Thailand (Chiang Mai) it looks great !
last night i watch this video about the amazon rainforest .wow this make rain happen and all the trees not only make it rain it will kick dust in the air to make clouds and so on. it also make rain and water for the world and animals of all kinds falling the water. hear is where is get scary 60% of the amazon are dead this is why we have we having drought.with out tress and water there is no life. i love this video we need to fallow this.
I've watched this talk a few times, I have a vested interest. I am going to build a bamboo house on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines.The Philippines seems to produce some of the biggest bamboo I've seen. This talk points out some of the difficulties of doing that. Finding an engineer or architect that has knowledge of building with bamboo (or who are even willing to do so) is difficult do. The closest that I've found are the locals that build bahay Kubo's and artisans that build bamboo furniture. And, lastly but by no means the least is finding the product to protect the bamboo from insects and fungus. Can you say frustrated??? Anyone out there that can point me to great sources for building with bamboo would be awesome. I've found some great stuff on You Tube but, just not enough.
Bamboo joints? Bamboo beams? Bamboo Pillars? Compressive vs Tensile strength? something more advanced? Bamboo geodesic domes? Bamboo with poured concrete cores? Concrete with bamboo reinforcement? Bamboo structural drawings in CAD? I'd love to help! vikas dot sm at gmail :)
thank u elora, lot f gd information...we love ur work.
i want bamboo full spectrum
Inspirational!! I wonder... does it grow and is it just as useful in moderate climates like in Western Europe?
😊👍
Excellent!
As an engineer, I can really appreciate the value of bamboo, and its ability to force architects away from their inevitable rectangular boxes.
The only drawback, is the limitation that climate would have on it. In a tropical or subtropical climate Bamboo buildings are superbly suited. In a northern cold temperate climate the challenge to produce a building that was warm and draft proof in a Northern winter would be extremely challenging, although Japan has succeeded with timber buildings, partly using Bamboo.

I'm curious what the cost difference is between her house and the concrete and steel version. That is what will make the decision for a lot of people.
if you live in a forest?? not much. :)
It is always the COST that will make the decision for a LOT of people but for SOME, it is the VALUE.
Gorgeous house. My climate isn't appropriate to that type of bamboo construction.
Bamboo wattle-and-daub? Maybe.
What would have to be done to a bamboo building to make it able to handle harsh winters, since a LOT of the world is colder than the bamboo growing areas?
WoW!! bamboo and craftsmen.
But also - Obnoxious, pretentious, glorification of indulgence, in Bali.
Iv’e seen some there. 8:26 - 4bedroom, six story, private home.
Yes, I love and celebrate life.
Luxury can be a mental disorder, and spiritual burden, at time.
So can cultured crackly voices. Love her fathers work also.
Kinda curious as to how an apartment complex would look... Or a tower...
"just about everything that is built out of bamboo is gone"... this is quite far from being true. Were I grew up, in Colombia, we still have the houses of our grand grand grand parents, large two and three story houses, built out of "steel bamboo" collected from the region.
wow - this is really amazing!! Do you have some Fotos from it?
She didn't ment that but she was criticising people assumption about bamboo
@@annacompan7219 got it. Thank you!
I am interested in bamboo. I ve been doing some research and find out that Gradua bamboo originate from Colombia and is also the best bamboo for comercial purpose.
Do you know any company that sell plants ?
@@annacompan7219 Guadua (bambusa guadua - its scientific name) is found only in Colombia. It's been 20 years since I don't work with it, as I left the country, but can find out that info...
i wish i am in your team, if not i want to be ur customer for a vision of new world with bamboo world
I love it, but in town in spring it's loads of yard waste. I work too hard. Wrong place. Wrong culture.
treat bamboo in pond still water for 30 days.
What's gonna happen
bamboo :
raw Materialprocess.
put in water for months.
boil it in hot water
press.
Now it is material.

@@sethuca4129 she use chemical water too.. or salted water. to shorten the process.
this process will reinforce bamboo or any wood. and keep em safe from insects.
The Philippines too has a lot of bamboos but they are no match of the typhoons...Good for Bali not a typhoon path. So we have to use artificial stones called concrete....

That is what you've been told...
And yet there are ancient temples of many such materials that still stand 🤔
If same thing was told by an Indian man, world would say he is backward
I don't agree with this kind of classification made by man not to long ago to place Bamboo in the Grass Category. Nor does it belong to Timber or Wood. Bamboo within itself is a category; It's BAMBOO!!!!
Convenientional building materials are unscientific. Do more research on engineering building materials. Husband and wife can construct shelter measuring 50 square meter carpet area.

Not her idea
Cringe and groan.
