The permaculture movement is growing around the planet, as individuals look to lifestyle alternatives and the possibility of living off the grid in a sustainable and self-sufficient way. From organic farming to building passive houses<\/a>, this movement has inspired the sharing of knowledge and the adoption of new materials as solutions to reducing one\u2019s individual carbon footprint and to removing oneself from the stress of our high-speed and technology-heavy daily lives.<\/p>\n

One material that has resonated as a reliable and sustainable material for the future of construction is bamboo<\/a>. Alejandro Chellet is a permaculture expert who has held and been part of many building workshops in Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and the US, among many other countries. Over the course of these workshops, he has experimented with bamboo constructions and installations that not only stretch the creative boundaries of bamboo-building but also bring the material into a public spotlight as a key material for future innovation.<\/p>\n
