Attached are some pictures of the "Heart of School". This building is essentially the heart of the Green School campus, in Bali Indonesia. This 100% bamboo building is 65 meters in total length, three stories and 18 meters high at the tallest point. The concept was taking the golden mean spiral and devising a way to create a double helix in the center porption of the building out of Petung and Tali bamboo. The intersection of the many spirals and their supports will make for an interesting experience from inside. Date set for Completion Dec. 22nd, 2008. Love to get some feedback, thx. Please come visit the Greenschool and Pt Bambu.

I have used for scaffold and even looked into manufacturing boat mast from bamboo, which shows that I fully respect the compressive strenght on a vertical plain of bamboo. My questions arise from two factors. How to keep the weather out (both bamboo and the building) and how to joint/connect bamboo with out effecting the strenght? I live in Thailand where bamboo is also readily available but I have only ever used it as a temporary measure. Even the scaffold is only good for 3-6 months because of the water ingress. Like I say, keep us updated, Cheers, Dan

What about "treating" the bamboo? (before or after) besides painting it. Possible to use spray foams? for insulation (close the holes) and/or fire ratings etc. Just some thoughts' Sven _________________ ASMEIL Drawings and M&E Designs
