Today we are announcing the winner of the Bamboo Housing Contest, in collaboration with @basebuilds . We were incredibly impressed by the submissions. There were so many thoughtful and well-resolved ideas exploring how bamboo housing can become more dignified, resilient and scalable in the future. The winning proposal stood out for its simplicity, clarity of construction and sensitive response to tropical living, while still feeling warm, generous and human. Over the coming months, we’ll be working with BASE Bahay and the winning team to further develop the proposal before constructing it during Bamboo U’s October 2026 Build and Design In-Person course in Bali. A huge thank you to everyone who participated!

Bringing bamboo to Subic was one for the books. 🌿 A huge thank you to everyone who dropped by the BASE booth at Philippine Woodmac 2026 and joined the conversation on the future of bamboo construction. We are especially grateful to @rizomebamboo and the Philippine Bamboo Industry Development Council (PBIDC) for inviting us and helping put bamboo front and center, exactly where it belongs. This is only the beginning for bamboo construction, and we are excited for what’s ahead. 🌱 Stay tuned for more exciting events! #BASE #Bamboo #BambooConstruction #PhilippineWoodmac2026

Maybe bamboo doesn’t need to prove itself anymore. Maybe we just need to update how we see it. Because real innovation doesn’t always come from new materials. Sometimes, it comes from a new perspective. Bamboo is ready. The question is: are we? Join the conversation! #BASE #Bamboo #BambooConstruction

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate the women who hold everything together, quietly resilient, deeply rooted, and endlessly giving. Just like bamboo, they bend without breaking, adapt without losing strength, and build the future we get to stand on. To all the mothers who shape our lives, thank you for being the foundation of everything we grow into. 🌱 Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at BASE! #BASE #Bamboo #BambooConstruction #MothersDay2026

In collaboration with the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) - Philippine Bamboo Project Special Committee, we are turning tiny models into powerful design tools (and yes, it is as cool as it sounds). Join the CPD Workshop on “Bamboo by Design: Designing, Modeling, and Building with Bamboo” this May 29 at the Base Innovation Center. This is all about doing, cutting, shaping, assembling, and understanding bamboo like never before. Limited slots only! 🔗 Click the link in our bio and save your spot! Warning: You might never look at bamboo the same way again. 🌿 #BASE #BambooAcademy #Bamboo #BambooConstruction #UAP

What happens when the world designs with bamboo? 🌍🌿 The response has been overwhelming. The Bamboo Housing Challenge brings together participants from across continents, students, architects, engineers, and innovators, each bringing unique perspectives. Now, as we move into the evaluation stage, these ideas are being carefully reviewed. Each entry reflects a shared mission to answer one question: How can bamboo help solve real housing challenges? In partnership with @bambooubali , and with the support of the @hiltifoundation , this global initiative is transforming bold concepts into real possibilities. Because the future of housing won’t come from one place. It will be built through collaboration across the world. Stay tuned for more exciting updates! #BASE #Bamboo #BambooConstruction #BambooHousingChallenge #BambooU

At the end of the day, we are not just building structures. We are building spaces where students learn, families live, and communities grow And none of that happens without the people behind the work. This Labor Day, we honor the hands, minds, and effort that turn materials into something meaningful. Happy Labor Day! #BASE #Bamboo #BambooConstruction #LaborDay
