Design your own bamboo building, live with the people who build them.
Seven weeks, seven live sessions. Rhino, Grasshopper and the presentation tools, taught from zero, on real bamboo projects.
Enrollment closes when the cohort starts on Monday 28 September, Bali time.
Learn Alongside Experts, Not Just a Video
The depth is what you would expect from Bamboo U. What changes is that it happens together, in real time, with people who do this work for a living.
Seven live sessions
Sit in with bamboo and digital design experts rather than working through recordings alone.
Live questions and work reviews
Bring your own project. Get it looked at by the people building this way right now.
A cohort moving with you
Everyone works through the same module in the same week. That is what gets people to the finish.

Questions People Ask
I have never used Rhino or Grasshopper. Is that a problem?
No. The course is built for beginners and starts from zero. That is the whole point of it.
What if I miss a live session?
Every session is recorded and you keep the recordings. The cohort space stays open so you can ask your question in writing.
What software do I need?
Rhino with Grasshopper, plus the presentation tools covered in Module 4. Setup is handled in Week 0 before the course starts.
How much time per week should I expect?
One live session plus your own project work. Most students find a few hours a week is enough to keep pace.
Is there a payment plan?
Write to [email protected] and we will talk it through.
