Elora Hardy on Sustainable Bamboo Architecture-
In this video Elora Hardy, Creative Director at Ibuku, discusses her inpirational journey from a child going up in Bali, to the fashion runways of New York and finally as founder of one of the most innovation bamboo construction companies in the world.

Elora explains how she discovered the sustainable design benefits of bamboo, its eco-friendly characteristics, and the skilled engineers, artisans, and architects that have helped create some of the worlds most technologically advanced bamboo structures.

She talks through the unique sustainable design process used to building these natural, unique, architecturally magnificent structures and creates a vision of a more sustainable future based on sound sustainable development principles, the future of bamboo in the green building industry, sustainable architecture, and the role of bamboo as a future sustainable building material.

Elora introduces us to Green School , a magnificent school campus in Bali made entirely from sustainably harvested bamboo.

The U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) Center for Green Schools awarded Green School the “2012 Greenest School on Earth“.

The campus has been created by master craftsmen, designers and builders, landscape architects and gardeners using a blend of cutting-edge technology and traditional materials and methods. The result is a truly inspirational teaching and learning environment that stimulates critical thinking and creative problem solving.
