2025 International Online Seminar – Towards Mainstreaming Bamboo Construction: Research and Practice
This year’s seminar focuses on the global effort to mainstream bamboo as a construction material. Across four sessions, we will explore the life cycle assessment of bamboo materials and buildings, engineering challenges and standards, architectural innovation, and the social and policy frameworks required for scaling up. By bringing together leading experts and young researchers, the seminar will highlight both scientific advances and practical pathways towards wider adoption of bamboo in the built environment. The seminar is organized by the INBAR Task Force on Bamboo Construction, with the support of the RILEM Technical Committee 322-MCB : Mechanical Characterisation of Bamboo.
