Thanapat Boonsanan, 31, is the founder of bamboo-centric architecture and construction firm Thor Kaichon (www.fb.com/thorkaichon). Up until recently, the local bamboo construction scene was dominated by foreigners; now Thanapat is one of the most sought-after architects around for his humble, environmentally-friendly yet sturdy designs. After returning from Konstruck Bamboo Art Festival in Malaysia to put the finishing touches on his stage designs at Wonderfruit festival (Feb 16-19), Thanapat talks to us about the future of this natural material.
