Rodolfo Sáenz
My name is Rodolfo Sáenz and I am 58 years old. I started making bamboo furniture when I was 17 years old. At the age of 24, I moved to Belgium where I had the opportunity to teach a course in the south of France on bamboo furniture. Upon returning to Costa Rica, I shifted my focus to bamboo construction and started working with materials such as acrilla and adobe. I completed several projects using bamboo and barro. For over 10 years, I have been conducting numerous courses on house construction, bamboo furniture making, and working with adobe.
Location of the school
Costa Rica is internationally recognized as a sustainable destination, committed to protecting the climate and the environment. It is an ideal place to connect with nature and offers unique experiences. One such experience is learning how to build with natural materials such as bamboo and clay.
The courses will be held at the Bamboo School Costa Rica located in La Florida, near Tinamastes, in Costa Rica. La Florida is a small village situated at an altitude of 700 meters in the Uvita Mountains. It is surrounded by waterfalls, protected jungles, and diverse wildlife, including many species of plants and animals. The air is fresh and the water is clean and spring-fed.
