The Arc at Green School Bali is a remarkable feat of engineering, showcasing the incredible strength and versatility of bamboo. The Arc, an environmentally friendly space to educate while fostering creativity and encouraging ecological responsibility, boasts the largest bamboo arches yet constructed.
This is a demonstration of artistry, technical know how and creativity – charged structural engineering.
“The Arc at Green School Bali enters a new era for organic architecture, with its 19-meter span arches, connected by anticlastic gridshells.” says Elora Hardy, founder of the architecture firm IBUKU who created it in collaboration with Jorg Stamm and Neil Thomas from Atelier One.
Both Jörg and Neil joined the project to help create a state-of-the-art campus in Tulum, a project spearheaded by architect Jules de Laage, a graduate from McGill University, former member of the IBUKU Team and Construction Manager during the creation of The Arc.
Jules deepened his experience leading and teaching the Bamboo U workshops. It was during one of these workshops that he met Francisco Vidal, an enthusiastic bamboo lover who was keen on creating a Green School in his own country. Francisco is in charge of the management, financial planning and onsite coordination.
declares Rodolfo Rosas, GST shareholder and partner in Selvazama: home to this revolutionary endeavor.

Since our inception, Zamá Desarrollos has been a pioneer in creating exceptional experiences for the Tulum community in Selvazama. Driven by an innovative vision and a deep commitment to community well-being, we have strived to materialize projects that exceed expectations and contribute to the comprehensive development of the region.
Recognizing the multicultural and avant-garde nature of our community, we continuously aspire to create enriching experiences that foster continuous learning, social connection, and overall well-being. Green School Tulum marked a significant step in our educational vision for Selvazama and we have made the decision not to continue with the project under the Green School Tulum franchise.
This decision is driven by our commitment to creating an even more dynamic and comprehensive space that meets the needs of the diverse range of residents and visitors.
Our goal is to establish a community hub in the heart of Selvazama. In this vibrant community center, individuals will be able to enjoy a variety of recreational, educational, and cultural activities, finding a welcoming and hospitable space to immerse themselves in the rich culture and lifestyle of our community. This shift in focus is based on valuable lessons learned during the ideation and planning process of Green School Tulum. We deeply appreciate the team that dedicated their talent to the project.
We will soon unveil information about this exciting chapter in Selvazama’s history.
We are eager to collaborate with the community to bring to life a vision that strengthens social bonds, promotes continuous learning, and contributes to the comprehensive development of Tulum.
