An overdue update on progress at the Institute! We finished our professor’s quarters and lookout and the bamboo is as high as an elephant’s 🐘 eye. Our Guachapeli forest is staked to grow nice and straight. Welcome to see the progress for yourself! • Come attend our programs this coming winter! • #bamboocourse #regenerativeagriculture #agroecology #agroecologia #guadua #nativetrees #allyouneedisecuador #chone #manabi #environmentalaction #beyondorganic #restoration #environmentalresearch #buildsoil #sustainabletechnology #sustainabletimber #bambu #biodiversity

We believe in regenerative agriculture, architecture, and engineering.👩🏻‍🔬🌿👨🏼‍🌾 We value local partnerships with universities and the municipality of Chone, Ecuador 🇪🇨to help us learn about our region’s ecology, economy, and culture. Gracias al Municipio de Chone @gadmchone @choneresurgeporti @gabydelacruzb por hacer este lindo video sobre Los Arboleros! ❤️ #bamboohouse #bambooarchitecture #bambooconstruction #bamboofarm #bamboowork #farm #agroecology #agroforestry #agrobusiness #localeconomy #agronomy #farmlife #junglelife #motivation #couplegoals #doingwhatwelove #ourlifestyle #choneresurgeporti #chone #manabi

Great progress on building and earthworks projects last week. We worked together with Ecuadorian and United States students to teach keypoint mapping techniques and bamboo building to make a chicken coup and the lookout pictured here. #sustainabletechnology #permaculture #agroecologia #bamboocourse #bambu #cañaguadua #bambuseros #chone #manabi #allyouneedisecuador

Very interesting visitors today from the team of Tourism department of the Municipality of Chone! Let’s spread good ideas💡🚀🌎🙏🏽 • • #ecotourism #ecoinfrastructure #customerservice #internationalcollaboration #regenerationfieldinstitute #tourism #entrepreneurship #bamboohouse

Honey the 🐈 up on our new lookout terraces. The next two photos are of the design of the structure - within a week it will be built and ready for enjoying the view! A big thank you to our collaborator @dogmos_404 whose lovely architectural designs will make this such a beautiful space. • • #bamboocourse #agroecologia #bamboo #bamboohouse

We feel at home in the community of Ricaurte, Manabi Ecuador. As thanks to our beautiful neighbors, we built this bus stop as part of our last bamboo building workshop. 🎍🏗🚞#busstop #bamboo #bambooconstruction #bamboobuilding #bambooarchitecture #cañaguadua #guadua #naturalconstruction #sustainablebuilding #naturalmaterials #ecoconstruction #naturalbuilding #soilscience #researchinstitute #regenerativepractices #regenerativetechnologies

Explore the craft of bamboo building: cuts, joints, and new and traditional methods. At Regeneration Field Institute we teach the fundamentals of design with regenerative materials. Getting to intimately know the properties and fibers of bamboo opens up a world of possibility for our projects and our planet. 🎍💪🏽👩🏻‍🔧🏗🛠🌳 • • #bamboo #bambooconstruction #bambooarchitecture #engineering #environmentalengineering #buildingworkshop #naturalbuilding #bamboobuilding #ecomovement #ecofeminism #engineeringstudents #students #university #course #womeninconstruction #womeninengineering #designbuild #design #build #construction #thefutureisfemale #ecuador🇪🇨 #sustainabletechnology

Students from University of Alabama and CU Boulder mixing up the treatment solution for our bamboo construction project! This mix of Borax and Boric Acid will cure the bamboo used to build the next part of our institute and make sure it stays stronger for longer! 10 day bamboo construction and cultivation courses-See registration information on the link in our bio! • • 👩🏽‍🏫🎋💪🏽🌎🔧🙋🏻‍♀️🏗🌿📚#bambooworkshop #borax #boraxacid #bambooarchitecture #bamboobuilding #cañaguadua #guadua #guaduabamboo #education #sustainability #ecuador🇪🇨 #innovation #climateaction #environmentalleaders #sustainabletechnology #greeninfrastructure #bamboodesign #bambootechnology #youthleaders

Fish mouth: bamboo joinery technique. Maddy Monahan @mgmonahan from CU Boulder is trying to carve one for the first time and it came out beautifully. Each piece of bamboo is unique, to build with this material you need to match widths and use the strongest parts closest to the nodes! RFI creates opportunities for USA based technical students to learn from local Ecuadorian expert builders and architects. We love supporting this important knowledge exchange. • • 🎋👩🏽‍🔧🎍💪🏽👩🏻‍🔧🏗🛠🌳#bamboo #bambooconstruction #bambooarchitecture #engineering #environmentalengineering #buildingworkshop #naturalbuilding #bamboobuilding #ecomovement #ecofeminism #womeninstem #engineeringstudents #students #university #course #womeninconstruction #womeninengineering #designbuild #design #build #construction #thefutureisfemale #cubolder

Our summer session started! Bienvenidos!🙌🏽🌎💚

Our accomodations are clean, our gardens full, and our team excited to begin hosting this summer’s program sessions. First up we have 29 students from Alabama, USC, UNC and Boulder universities for a bamboo building and agroecology course. See you guys tonight ! • • #agroecology #bamboobuilding #allyouneedisecuador #manabi #bamboo #caña #organicbusiness #socialentrepreneurship #environmentalaction #ecoaction #permaculture #agroecologia

Where’d our house go?! There it is! Behind the bananas, black bamboo and above the terraces of tumeric and vetiver😅 Our plant selection around the house is designed to help sustain the hill slope, to be productive with medicinal and edible crops, and to shade our house for cooling and protecting the exposed bamboo. In the second pic- we have a 1.5 acre orange 🍊 orchard where we pruned heavily to incorporate plantains, yuca, and pigeon pea in between the rows. This will give us materials for composting on site and increase our overall yield and diversity! • • #bamboohouse #regenerativeagriculture #agroecologia #agroforestry #agroforesteria #agrofloresta #allyouneedisecuador #manabi #chone

April 16 three years ago today a powerful 7.8 earthquake devastated the coast of Ecuador. To this day we live with the aftermath. For Regeneration Field Institute, the destructive event birthed our bamboo building and ecological agriculture movement, but for many in Bahia de Caraquez and up and down the coast, the problems wrought by the quake persist. Many large poorly constructed buildings were damaged and they still threaten houses, schools, and pedestrians. We express our solidarity with the citizens of Bahia who today on this anniversary took to the streets to peacefully protest and demand support from Ecuador’s government to help solve this continuing crisis. 📸 @candreslucas . #bahiarenace #regenerationfieldinstitute #bamboo #greenarchitecture #solidaridadconnuestroshermanos #bahiadecaraquez #manabi #terremotoecuador2016 #allyouneedisecuador #ecuador🇪🇨
