TED Talk – Elora Hardy: Magical Houses, Made of Bamboo
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.
Inspiring. Just now planning a treehouse and I happen to have some bamboo handy…
However, I do wonder about the disparities of wealth between the clients who commission those glorious homes and the workers who build them. Do they, also, live in beautiful bamboo houses (albeit smaller)?
A project is not possible applicability in daily life. How do you think this house cost? . There are so many hungry and needy people in the world … I do not think of anything else to satisfy themselves as rich people … wrong, I’m talking to this house. They also talked about the sharing.
Sensational! Like a childhood dream. The Green School in Bali has similar structures
The Green school in Bali was built by her father. She mentions that in the video.
