In this introductory module, we look at the content of the course and how to navigate the platform to enhance your course experience.

In this module, we’ll explore how bamboo is used structurally, as well as the overall bamboo design and build process. This process is composed of the steps needed to be taken in order to construct a full-scale project.

In this module, we explore key engineering terms and concepts to understand bamboo’s structural and mechanical properties, as well as how to test the bamboo you have to determine how to maximize these properties in your buildings.

In this section of the course, we take you step-by-step through how to perform common Balinese carpentry and joinery methods. We also cover how to use common bolt and nut joints in bamboo construction, how to bend bamboo, and how we split bamboo into longitudinal strips and apply them in construction.

In this module we'll go through the key steps and stages of preparing your project and site for the construction phases. This includes preparing and planning for your project, costing, putting together a team, and prepping the site. We also cover how to tackle building foundations as a preparatory phase for your project

This module walks through the steps of assembling a post-and-beam bamboo project. The content includes constructing the structural elements, as well as exploring roofing, floors, and walls. By focusing on the assembly of a medium-scale project, you will learn how these methods can be applied to other structures of various sizes and in various contexts.

In this module, we dive into the construction process of the Arc Gymnasium at Green School with Jules de Laage and James Wolf. Jules and James were part of the project's on-site management and construction team and share the incredible feat of constructing a bamboo project of such scale, with such an unprecedented design.
