bamboo shoots - traditional materials, which are environmentally friendly. The
building uses wind energy and the cooling capacity of water to create a natural air
conditioner so that customers can feel comfortable. The advantages of using bamboo
as a building material are low cost, less pollution, and low thermal conductivity.
In conclusion, besides various building materials, bamboo is also used as a
friendly, steady material for construction in Viet Nam nowadays.
