Bamboo Immersion Trip - Day 2


Dumaguete - People, originally uploaded by jsigharas.

Our day started off with a comprehensive tour of Buglas Bamboo Institute's factory located on the outskirts of Dumaguete. There, several projects were in the making, including a bamboo home that was being built for disassembly to be shipped out to a client in Belgium. Several furniture pieces were also being worked on, as well as bamboo slats and sheets for flooring and wall applications. Observing the workers in this open-air, well-equipped warehouse gave us a first-hand look at how bamboo is worked and used as a building material.
