Amidst the volcanic landscapes and lush green jungles of Indonesia, bamboo is currently experiencing an architectural renaissance as a sustainable, economical and versatile construction material. Inspired by my time building with bamboo in the Balinese jungle, this illustrative work outlines best practice within a bamboo supply chain - from adopting an agroforestry approach when farming, to applying proper post-harvest treatment and implementing proven construction techniques that take advantage of this fast-growing grass's characteristics.
