"For humanity, for culture, it doesn't matter if you were born in Europe, in Asia or in South or North America, [...] Culture is everything, and the access to culture is also very important to everybody." Your work is inspiring! Thanks for sharing it to the world.

I'm watching this after harvesting some guadua from my little finca here in Panama. I'm originally from Scotland and reading a book about Simon Velez and his bamboo constuctions changed the course of my life. Lots of respect.

Great to hear! Thank you for watching.

Very interesting, I live in a tropical area are also and don’t understand why my people don’t use bamboo more.
What is the species of bamboo that you use?
