arched bamboo roof shades learning space in bali co-designed by students and mizzi studio
- Green School Bali opens The Living Bridge, a co-learning space designed by Jonathan Mizzi of Mizzi Studio in collaboration with students, educators, and parents.
- The project is the result of two years’ work as part of the school’s Jalan Jalan program, encouraging real-world, hands-on learning.
- The structure is made from over 300 locally harvested bamboo poles shaped using advanced heat-bending techniques developed with Bamboo Pure craftspeople.
- Design includes sustainable materials like terrazzo, eco-crete bricks, lime plaster, and mycelium acoustic panels.
- The large curved roof shading the building is supported by eight bamboo arches and finished with traditional flattened bamboo shingles, welcoming students and visitors into a shared space.
- Students aged 15 to 18 were guided through the full design process, actively participating from sketches to on-site construction.
- Jonathan Mizzi highlights the project as an example of architecture growing from education, with students leading the way in a transformative experience.
- Before opening, The Living Bridge was featured at ChangeNOW 2025 in Paris and includes a digital platform for future collaboration and mentoring.
