This is a symposium to discuss the future of bamboo in the Haitian built environment and is organised as a joint event by Newcastle University in the UK, the University of Pittsburgh, USA and the Wynne Farm Ecological Reserve, Haiti.
This symposium will provide a platform for a discussion about how lightweight, sustainable bio-based construction materials can find their way into the Haitian construction sector through architectural education. The focus on architectural education is to promote long term innovation by the next generation of local architects in Haiti to enfranchise latent local bamboo resources.
