In August 2022, we carried out the GreenHouse BambooBottle action in collaboration with @shakti.nepal. The project took place in Bahisepati, a village located 20 km from the Kathmandu Valley, and was developed as an ecological awareness initiative with students from the local high school.

The process began with a series of theoretical workshops addressing soil, air, and water pollution, encouraging reflection on the environmental impact of plastic waste and the urgency of more sustainable practices. This was followed by a one-week on-site construction with a local family, turning theory into collective action.

​

The structure consisted of a greenhouse built with a bamboo framework, while the roof was made from recycled plastic bottles. This experimental construction aimed to raise awareness about plastic presence in the environment, explore creativity as a response to the climate crisis, highlight the ecological and structural value of bamboo, and contribute to the agricultural production of a local family. It also introduced basic principles of seismic awareness and the durability of bamboo construction.

​

More than the final object, it was the process itself that held the greatest value — a shared experience of learning, exchange, and celebration. Participatory construction proved to be a powerful educational tool, where building became a way of thinking and transmitting knowledge.​
