4 - 14 January 2006: Thailand/Chiang-Mai/International Bamboo Workshop
Bamboo is one of our fascinating building materials. As a fast renewable and ecological resource it possesses enormous properties. In this workshop we are going to work with bamboo in traditional and modern ways regarding artistically and technical skills. We are going to realize individual and joint structures. Small groups will work in hands-on seminars with theoretic background information under guidance of experts from Germany and Thailand. Participants will be supported to learn materials handling from design to construction for this strong and beautiful material. Basic knowledge is unnecessary for participation. Together we will work on the basics, will discover the local bamboo culture and we are going to erect a bamboo construction. And it‘s going to be the first joint venture with the Lahu. It‘s an ethnic group in the north of Thailand which is using bamboo since ancient times in traditional ways.
