The world's leading architects have used bamboo as a fastening material for their vast constructions, leaving classic steel in the background. Bamboo in appearance looks like a fragile material, very ductile, not very solid, but it is the only appearance

This material gains ground because it is lighter than steel and more resistant than concrete; supermarkets, hotels, residences and even the Museum, demonstrates the strength of bamboo.

Forget steel and concrete. The building material to be chosen for the 21st century may be bamboo. This member of the hollow stems family is emerging from the realms of flimsy tropical huts and drawing the attention of the most respected architects. It is used to build the most luxurious residences

Lighter than steel, but five times stronger than concrete, And unlike the slow cultivation to get wood, the bamboo stems grow quickly, also absorbing four times more amount of carbon dioxide.

For this iconoclast that designs hands-free, bamboo is above all a high-tech material."The relationship of weight and stamina is the best in the world. Anything built in steel, bamboo faster and equally cheap.

 In an era of depleted resources and growing population, social and environmental benefits are the best selling points of bamboo as construction material.
