Sustainable Creation: Big Bambú

In the November 2009 issue of Architectural Record there is an innovative take on sustainability.

Every month my dad gives me his hand-me-down copies of this reputable journal and I peruse it for pleasure and inspiration. There is a lot of innovation in architecture and I like imagining myself using it. This time I found something truly tickling.


More than functional or sculptural, Big Bambú is fantastic, a whim, a sustainable process without end. What good exercise. I'm reminded of something I heard recently: creative people tend to enjoy the process much more than the result (Chopra), and the process is the present, what you do now will be part of some process tomorrow which is also the present (Tolle).

Today's Meditation: what in your life has some sweet and endless rhythm?
