Eq Ea 3 " BAMBOO SHYAM PAUDEL DAVID GREENBERG ROBERT HENRIKSON“There is a very long tradition of building with bamboo in the world. In the last century many of the areas with such traditions saw a gradual replacement of bamboo by other synthetic building materials such as concrete. However, bamboo is back, as shown by the beautiful designs in this book. Such innovative technologies and innovative architecture are putting bamboo in the centre of attention for building in a sustainable manner, not only in those areas where bamboo is traditionally found, but around the world.” -Dr J.
