Localtalks 04.21 – Building with Bamboo: Robust, Resilient, Regenerative

Localtalks 04.21 was based on the theme of ‘Building with Bamboo’. It was held as a webinar on Wednesday 15th December, 2021. The platform hosted three speakers with extensive and varied experiences working with bamboo in different contexts. Stefan Pollak, founding member of AK0-Architettura a kilometro zero ETS, presented different available species and sizes of bamboos and various ways of employing the material. Recent projects were used to illustrate how lightweight structural behaviour of structures such as domes and gridshells can enhance the building process by providing inputs through direct interaction between involved people and the material. Flavia Nabugere represented the Ugandan Bamboo Association (UBA) as their Secretary General. She discussed the work of the association including strategies of producing and processing bamboo for construction and, the ambition to see greater investment and use of the material in Uganda. Nripal Adhikary, founder of ABARI, shared built examples from his work with bamboo as an architect in Nepal. He discussed various qualities of bamboo, from its regenerative nature through planting to its strength and durability as a building material. The presentations were followed by a short question and answer session.
