The question is: Do we need to keep doing this, as excess of anything is destructive? Do we need to look back at traditions of living with the environment as the right way to move forward? Can we look into finding meaningful conversation with materials to support our needs? Can we look towards locally replenishing resources to support our daily needs?

The objective of the workshop «Creature Nature - Way of Life» is to find a meaning full way to explore bamboo as a material and address a need the best suits the material and its use. To create what bamboo allows us to do with it rather than forcing the material to function in a way it is not meant to be. Can we feel the material with minimal manipulation using its core strengths to find and answer in a playful manner that they feel being part of the environment?
