MIES - The Green School Goes Bamboo

Currently, I've been working on websites for Lehigh University.  In the meantime, I've been working with  a friend from Malaysia who introduced me to the exotic world of the Green School in Bali.  John and Cynthia Hardy wanted to motivate Malaysian communities to live sustainably, and did so through sustainable materials like bamboo. Below is a documentary on their works. Enjoy.

 Looking at their works, one can sense a little of Auburn University's Rural Studio in the Green School. There is an economical choice of renewable materials, load-bearing and non-load-bearing, and the interiors are designed with both context and function in mind. The photos below show an intriguing (and somewhat fanciful) attention to detail and structure.
