Through the weekend, Freedom Park will be showcasing examples of sustainable design, local crafts, art and concerts, in a first-time festival dedicated principally to bamboo and its use in construction.
Hosted by Building Trust International, a United Kingdom-based NGO working to promote sustainable development, CAMBOO Festival will highlight sustainable construction materials and practices. Bamboo pavilions, designed and built by the students from six engineering and architecture universities in Phnom Penh, will be on display.
David Cole, the director of BTI, says the idea of the festival emerged from his organisation's original goal to draw the interest of young Cambodian designers, engineers and architects in using sustainable materials.
"We contacted the universities and asked if we could train the students in using bamboo," Cole said. "Then we realised that the best way to do that would be to get in touch with the actual projects. We also felt that it was a great way to celebrate both the use of natural materials and Cambodia's natural environment."
For the last two months, the students have been taught how to use bamboo for building at BTI's centre in Takhmao, where the material's potential is being demonstrated in a country where it is generally considered as a short-lived substance for making chopsticks and baskets.
"When I started working with bamboo about five years ago, I was surprised by how useful this material is," Cole said. "It has been used in modern ways in countries such as Japan, Indonesia, and Thailand. I think Cambodia is one of those countries which begins to exploit the potential of this material"
Among the showcased structures is the Hyperbamboo, the centre pavilion chosen as the winning design of BTI's CAMBOO Design Challenge, an international competition involving designers all over the world. Selected from 70 entries, it is produced by the team of Roberto Bologna, Fernando Barth, Chiara Moretti and Denny Pagliai from Florence, Italy. Designs from BTI's projects over the past five years, such as a bamboo school building in Takeo province, will also be displayed.
In addition to seeing a wide range of unique designs, attendees will be able to engage in activities like building workshops, meditation, salsa classes and live music, from bands like the Cambodian Space Project, Hypnotic Fist Technique and Oscar's house band Khmenglish.
Visitors can also purchase from "eco-stalls", which sell local natural products such as Mondulkiri honey, as well as food and drinks from BTI's partners like Farm to Table, La Familia and La Pops!
Though he speculates that most attendees will be students and people working in art, design and modern architecture, he hopes that professionals from all walks of life will come to the festival to get a glimpse of local craftsmanship and to encourage the designers and architects of the future towork with sustainable material.
The CAMBOO Festival will be open to the public with free admission from tonight until April 1 from10am-9pm, at Freedom Park on Street 53.

Having pests in your home can be a pain. Rats and mice can easily damage walls, flooring and more by chewing on them and making nests. Rats and mice also can carry several different diseases that can be transmitted to humans. These diseases can be life-threatening. Insect pests can destroy your home and can be a poisonous variety like spiders and wasps. You will want to do everything that you can to prevent these pests from taking over your home.
When it comes to pest control, there are many different control methods that can help to get rid of the problem. For mice and rats, there are poisons and traps that can be placed out to get rid of them. Ultrasonic devices can also help to keep these pests away. For insects, there are chemical treatments and traps that can be used to ensure that they do not come back.
Many people choose to try and exterminate their pests themselves and they find that they quickly fail. The pests either learn how to avoid the traps or not enough of the poison is put out for the infestation. Instead of doing it yourself and wasting your time and money, you should consider hiring an extermination company. An exterminator will be well experienced in how to get rid of your pests. They will be able to put out chemicals as well as traps in the places where they find the nests. They will also help to prevent further pest infestation. If you see pests in your home, contact an exterminator as soon as possible.
