The Bamboo U podcast brings you conversations about design, creative thinking, architecture, and bamboo. Bamboo U is an educational experience that teaches people, how to design and build with bamboo. We run workshops that show our participants how to create innovative structures out of bamboo, and how to incorporate bamboo into their own projects. This show is a series of interviews with bamboo experts and pioneers who are exploring innovative ways to inspire the world to work with bamboo as a sustainable timber for the future.

    Bamboo U is more than a workshop, it is a place where we can create a better future. People come together here to reconnect. To  work with their hands by making real bamboo structures,  and by making their own bamboo designs come to life. We often see beautiful finished prototypes of lamps, chairs, intriguing art pieces, and detailed models of future bamboo houses. Learn why bamboo is the sustainable material of the future.
