Dear Friends
I have just posted an article on my blog "Design for India" with a fairly
detailed illustrated note on our work in the bamboo sector aimed at rural
development in India. This post has links to a new digital book on bamboo
furniture and our macro-micro strategy called "Seedlings of Wealth". The
book is called "Katlamara Chalo" – meaning Come to Katlamara – and you can
download it from links on this webpage below:
<Katlamara Chalo: Seedlings of Wealth in
Action><http://design-for-india.blogspot.com/2009/02/katlamara-chalo-seedlings-of-wealth-in.html>
At the foot of the post are links to several papers, books and websites on
the premises and intentions of the bamboo and design project which have been
written over the past twenty years, all done at NID, Ahmedabad with a large
number of collaborators including faculty colleagues and students. Do take a
look and this is work in progress and we would love to have your comments
and observations as we go forward from here.
With warm regards
