BolderTalks brings you: Joshua Doolittle, Founder of Bambitat for Humanity

When: July 23, 2012
Cost: FREE
Where: Nomad Theatre, 1410 Quince Ave, Boulder, CO
Time: 7:00-8:00pm
Did you know that effectively engineered bamboo structures are comparable to steel in strength?

Our second BolderTalks event presents Joshua Doolittle, who will speak about his persistent exploration of a new chapter of bamboo architecture based on banded bamboo strip beams. He has taken his passion for this affordable, sustainable, and seismic resistant “engineered lumber” abroad.

“It started with a dream in 1998…”

Come hear Joshua’s unique story. Let’s discuss the possibility of a sustainable arch system as a tangible solution for rebuilding efforts in post disaster locations worldwide. Sustainable architecture is a critical topic for discussion in a time of climate change.

Doors open at 6:30pm at the Nomad Theatre, 1410 Quince Ave. Event starts at 7:00pm.

BolderTalks is a new BolderLife project, inspired by TEDTalks: a concept that collects and shares the insights of exceptional people and an opportunity that allows people to share their ideas with the community. These ideas are the ways in which we can create an ongoing dialogue between those who share a passion for life, education, and change. The format allows us to start a conversation with all of the unused what-ifs, how-sos, and what-abouts that you’ve been hoarding in your brain.

For out-of-towners, this talk will also be available on our website as part of BolderLife’s developing online educational, artivist programming.
