my mom asked me what I would want my house to look like,

於是我畫了這個小精靈的磨菇屋

I don't think I realized this was so unusual at the time,

我當時並沒瞭解到這件事有多特別

This is a six-story bespoke home on the island of Bali.

這是一棟六層樓量身打造的家，位於峇里島

The living room overlooks the valley from the fourth floor.

而你得跨越一座橋才能進入房子

so we make big curving roofs to catch the breezes.

所以我們做了大型曲面屋頂把引進微風

But some rooms have tall windows to keep the air conditioning in

而有些房間是以落地窗讓空氣流入

And one client wanted a TV room in the corner of her living room.

有位業主希望起居室的角落有電視間

Boxing off an area with tall walls just didn't feel right,

但我們覺得以高牆圍住這個空間，十分不對勁

so instead, we made this giant woven pod.

所以，我們做了這個巨大的編織艙

Now, we do have all the necessary luxuries, like bathrooms.

現在，我們擁有了所有必備的舒適享受，例如廁所

This one is a basket in the corner of the living room,

這個籃子般的空間位於起居室一角

and I've got tell you, some people actually hesitate to use it.

我必須跟你們說，有些人不太敢用這個廁所

We have not quite figured out our acoustic insulation.

So there are lots of things that we're still working on,

所以還有很多事仍待我們去解決

is that bamboo will treat you well if you use it right.

只要你找到對的使用方法，竹子是很好用的

It grows on otherwise unproductive land --

It lives off of rainwater, spring water, sunlight,

只要供給雨水、山泉、陽光，竹子就能生生不息

and of the 1,450 species of bamboo that grow across the world,

竹子的品種有1450種之多，遍及全世界

He's the one who got me building with bamboo,

and he is standing in a clump of Dendrocalamus asper niger

Each year, it sends up a new generation of shoots.

That shoot, we watched it grow a meter in three days just last week,

我們上禮拜才目睹那支新芽在三天之內抽高了一公尺，

so we're talking about sustainable timber in three years.

所以這是能在三年內成材的永續建材

Now, we harvest from hundreds of family-owned clumps.

現在，我們收成數以百計家族經營的竹叢

我們稱呼這是"Betung" (馬來語「竹子」之意)，它很長

Try getting that truck down the mountain.

And it's strong: it has the tensile strength of steel,

這種竹子十分強韌，具有鋼材般的抗拉強度

Slam four tons straight down on a pole,and it can take it.

竹子能承受四噸重的軸向加速載重

light enough to be lifted by just a few men,

或者，顯然的，一個女人也能做到

And when my father built Green School in Bali,

當我父親在峇里島建造 Green School 的時候

he chose bamboo for all of the buildings on campus,

他以竹子當做校內建築物的建材

It's one sustainable material that they will not run out of.

竹子是永遠不會短缺，能夠永續經營的材料

And when I first saw these structures under construction about six years ago,

六年前，我第一次看到這些結構體正在建設中

I just thought, this makes perfect sense.

It's strong. It's elegant. It's earthquake-resistant.

Why hasn't this happened sooner, and what can we do with it next?

怎麼沒有早一點拿竹子做建材呢? 那接下來我們能做什麼?

So along with some of the original builders of Green School,

因此，我與 Green School 的創始者們

Ibu means "mother," and ku means "mine," so it represents my Mother Earth,

Ibu 是「母親」 ， ku 是「我的」，所以這代表了 「大地之母」之意

and at Ibuku, we are a team of artisans, architects and designers,

在 Ibuku 這個團隊裡，有工匠、建築師、設計師

and what we're doing together is creating a new way of building.

we have built over 50 unique structures, most of them in Bali.

蓋了超過五十棟的獨特建築，大部分位於峇里島

you've just seen inside some of these homes --

你剛才看的就是其中一些房子的室內空間

we would love to invite you all to come visit someday.

And while you're there, you can also see Green School --

你來訪的時候，還能參觀Green School

we keep building classrooms there each year --

as well as an updated fairy mushroom house.

We're also working on a little house for export.

This is a traditional Sumbanese home that we replicated,

這是我們複製出來的傳統 Sumbanese (松巴人的傳統家屋)

And a bridge that spans 22 meters across a river.

這座橋以22公尺的跨距，橫越一條河

Now, what we're doing, it's not entirely new.

From little huts to elaborate bridges like this one in Java,

從小茅屋，到精心設計的橋，裡如這座爪哇島的橋

bamboo has been in use across the tropical regions of the world for literally tens of thousands of years.

竹子的使用遍及全世界的熱帶地區，已經好幾萬年了

There are islands and even continents that were first reached by bamboo rafts.

人們第一次抵達某些島嶼、甚至大陸，就是乘著竹筏

it was almost impossible to reliably protect bamboo from insects,

and so, just about everything that was ever built out of bamboo is gone.

因此，幾乎所有曾用竹子建造的東西都消失了

未經處理的竹子會被蟲蛀得一乾二淨

And so that's why most people, especially in Asia, think that

這也就是為什麼大多數人，尤其在亞洲，會認為

you couldn't be poor enough or rural enough to actually want to live in a bamboo house.

應該沒人會窮到、鄉下到竟然想住在竹子屋裡

what will it take to change their minds, to convince people that

要怎麼樣才能讓他們改觀? 說服他們

that bamboo is worth building with, much less worth aspiring to?

竹子非常適合建設用途，更不用說是值得探究的構築材料

First, we needed safe treatment solutions.

第一，我們需要安全的處理手法
