Elora Hardy – My mom (2010) Bali, Indonesia

MY MOM

My mom is a team of designers and builders who want to get the most out of bamboo and craftsmen of local talent and young minds. We believe that bamboo potential is underestimated.

It should be used to accommodate many more people, particularly in the tropics. We work hard to draw the beauty of this abundant wild grass. Traditional Balinese craftsmen work closely with our designers to develop a balance between old and new ideas. It also takes the important modern engineering to create original bamboo structures that meet our highest standards.

Elora Hardy leads Ibuku vision and sustainable design.

In 2010 Elora returned to his childhood home in Bali. Ensemble, she and her team of talented designers and Indonesian architects built more than forty new bamboo structures. They include Green Village, parts of Green School and other projects, mainly on the island.

Bamboo has the compressive strength of concrete, the same strength to weight ratio of steel, and can regenerate in a few years. It is also flexible, belle, and resilient, and serves as an effective carbon sequestration channel.
As mentioned in the video above, bamboo is not without its weaknesses, which include degradation by pests, moisture and weather, and the inability to easily produce large flat panels (such as roofing or flooring), but Hardy and Ibuku team found ways to work with or around these perceived weaknesses, and do it, in his own words, "We had to invent our own rules.”
