#068 - Markus Roselieb: The Doctor Who Quit Medicine to Build With Dirt and Bamboo

Markus Roselieb is a doctor-turned-architect who traded bones for bamboo - and has since built some of the most jaw-dropping natural structures. Based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, he creates buildings that go above their function: they connect to the heart.What started as a favor to his wife when she asked him to “build her a school”, has become a revolution in sustainable architecture, blending beauty, functionality, and ancient materials like bamboo and earth into handcrafted forms that have won design awards across the world.In this episode, we explore why a smile is the most important metric in architecture, why functionality matters more than beauty - and why bamboo, often dismissed as weak, might just be stronger than steel (it’s not what you think).To explore more about Markus Roselieb and his work, you can follow him on Linkedin, Instagram @chiangmailifearchitects, or visit his website: bamboo-earth-architecture-construction.com.Join me, Ladina, on this green journey, and don't forget to subscribe for more insightful conversations about sustainable living and architecture and drop us a review.
