Canya Viva 2013
Cave Urban members Jed, Juan Pablo, Angel and Ned attended the Canya Viva workshop at Terra Alta in Portugal. Living at Terra Alta for a month they helped build a 'House of Canya' for two of Terra Alta's residents. The house is constructed from cane harvested from the surrounding area. A series of bundle beams are constructed by the deliberate selection of certain sized cane. The cane is finally rendered with a series of earth layers to waterproof the building.
Cave Urban member Jed Long presented a lecture entitled "Bamboo in Australia, Cave Urban at Work" to the Bamboo Global Summit in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
It concentrated upon Cave Urban's first research folio on 'Bamboo and Lightweight Structures' and discussed several of Cave Urban's recent works.
The talk introduced the idea of education and workshops as a means to introduce bamboo to a developed economy.
