TED TALKS: 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.
human ingenuity knows no bounds; what a completely aesthetic experience these buildings and structures are. it’s just too bad that the less noble human characteristics always get in the way. Hemp is another miracle plant that is being wasted in its non-use.
