Dear Friends We have been working on bamboo applications for sustainability and eco-friendly future applications for some years now. In 1998 - 2001 we had carried out research and product design applications using bamboo laminated boards with sponsorship from the UNDP and the APCTT and a multimedia CD ROM was created to document and disseminate all the work done during the research phase as well as the product design stages. This CD ROM is now available online for free download with a detailed description on the "Design for India" blog at this link below. The CD ROM is available as a single zip file of 550 MB which expands into folders and self contained multiple files for offline viewing for those interested. Take a look at the link below for details, interface screens, sample pages and the link for full download for those interested in our ongoing multi-facetted design research at the Centre for Bamboo Initiatives at NID, India. <Bamboo Boards & Beyond: Multimedia CD ROM on design explorations for India><http://design-for-india.blogspot.com/2009/03/bamboo-boards-beyond-multimedia-cd-rom.html> This is the first of two major CD ROM publications that was produced over the years and the next one is due for release shortly. the second is "Beyond Grassroots: Bamboo as Seedlings of wealth" that was published in 2003. We would love to get feedback on the contents in due course from the lists.
