01 — About us

Rooted in bamboo,
raised by youth

Chungtatre.com started in 2016 as a student sketch club in Hanoi drawing bamboo houses. Today we are a movement: architects, farmers, artists, surfers, coders and grandmas weaving together.

“Tre” is bamboo — Vietnam’s most humble, most resilient material. “Chung ta” is “we”. Our philosophy is simple: if young people can build with bamboo, they can rebuild the country. We run eco-villages, mobile bamboo schools, river clean-ups, craft markets and Vietnam’s happiest youth festival.
