you need to know about working with bamboo as an alternative building
material: from planting your own bamboo, to curing and preservation
techniques, from basic joining and making your own specialized tools through
to combining bamboo with other materials.
The course also features essential components of house-building such as site
selection and preparation, house design for barefoot architects, principles
of natural building, vernacular architecture, and much more.
