Hi!
I'm Daniel Stamatis
Architectural Engineer, Ph.D.
Huazhong University of Science and Technology (华中科技大学）
for the last 18 years I've worked on bamboo architectural design in Asia, Europe and Latin America, and I know by personal experience how difficult it can be to grow economically at the same time that taking your ideas to the next level.
The truth is that many of us have the passion for bamboo and architecture but not many have the ability to turn such passion into economic growth.
And yet, it is not rocket science, necessarily.
That's why I help architects to live from bamboo architecture in a passionate, impactful, and prosperous way through the consultancy program 'Leaders for Bamboo Architecture'.
