Environmentalists and designers John and Cynthia Hardy wanted to motivate communities to live sustainably. Part of that effort was to show people how to build with sustainable materials, namely bamboo. They established the Green School, and develop plantations of bamboo plants through presenting bamboo seedlings to local rice farmers. The school is nestled in a lovely lagoon in Badung, Bali, Indonesia.
The Green School, a giant laboratory built by PT Bambu, is located on a sustainable campus straddling both sides of the Ayung River in Sibang Kaja, within a lush jungle with native plants and trees growing alongside sustainable organic gardens. The campus is powered by a number of alternative energy sources, including a bamboo sawdust hot water and cooking system, a hydro-powered vortex generator and solar panels, they use the best Five Types of Grass and 7 Lawn mowing tips; therefore, their gardens are spectacular. Campus buildings include classrooms, gym, assembly spaces, faculty housing, offices, cafes and bathroom.
Local bamboo, grown using sustainable methods, is used in innovative and experimental ways that demonstrate its architectural possibilities. The result is a holistic green community with a strong educational mandate that seeks to inspire students to be more curious, more engaged and more passionate about the environment and the planet.
