Bamboo: Sustainable Construction & Cultivation for Our Hostel

In this video, I share my experience attending a bamboo workshop, where I learned about sustainable construction techniques using this versatile and eco-friendly material. 🌱 From selecting high-quality bamboo to practicing small builds, like toilets and shelters, this workshop gave me the tools to bring our hostel project to life with a nature-inspired twist.
I am extremely grateful for this opportunity. Thanks to Burain and the team at Jaraguah, especially Suzie, Fer, Javier, Mauricio, Luna, and the rest of the staff who helped create a magical weekend.
Join me as I dive into the world of bamboo, showing you the benefits of working with this renewable resource and how I plan to use it in future builds at the hostel. Stay tuned for more updates as we integrate sustainable practices into our eco-friendly hostel in El Salvador!

Hey Rob, I'm glad your learning about bamboo! Some of these modern methods are more "experiment" than actual traditional or proven methods and I hope you take that into account in your own work. Many of these folks teaching how to use bamboo have not been at it long and much that is out there is DIYer inspired. I always suggest to students like you learning from others to ask how long a method has been around? Do they understand the impact of using industrial OPC cements? Do they know what "oxidation jacking" is and how it structurally compromise architecture? Try looking at some of the wood/bamboo joinery methods and those that work in concert with..."lalava" ..."sennit"..."polynesian lashing construction"...along with many other historically proven methods that many modern industrial bamboo builders seem to resist or just do not bother to learn. Good luck and looking forward to your next video...
