Bamboo for a Radically Regenerative Built Environment by SEAD

11:55 AM

Bintang 7, Level 4, JW Marriott

Discover the potential and benefits of bamboo as a sustainable material for construction and design, as SEAD showcases bamboo structures that has been designed and built in various contexts.

The built environment has a predominantly extractive narrative - the more we build, the more we need to extract and diminish. Today, a paradigm shift is available at our doorsteps: a giant weed that grows even more tenacious when harvested the right way, can be turned into a hyper-carbon accumulator. And what if the more we build, the more degraded ecosystems stand a chance at being regenerated through community-based agroforestry?

Find out how bamboo can be the answer - join Lucas in his vision of creating a bamboo revolution that can transform the world.

The seminar is part of the Yellow House Rejuvenation Project, a fundraising CSR initiative by YTL Foundation and Yellow House - a social enterprise that empowers marginalised communities through tourism education. The project aims to transform an old building in Kuala Lumpur into a vibrant community hub that will host various programmes and activities for the urban poor. SEAD is collaborating with YTL Construction, the Design & Construction Partner on the project, to lend their expertise in the use of bamboo.
