When I told them that, to some extent, bamboo can be a substitute for steel, they showed me some sheds constructed in bamboo frame. Other people might use steel for the frame, but the ones they show are ingenious.
Here's a barbecue shed made of bamboo and canvas.
This one is a better view.
The roof connection detail...
The floor connection detail...
There's also a parking shed for a car:
Here's a picture of the living roof when they were laying the grass...
Here's another shed structure but using a different roofing material.
The floor connection detail of the shed...
There are many other applications in bigger scale. These ones are just to prove my point about bamboo substituting steel. The waiting shed with a living roof is a bonus.
oh my goodness.. this is SOOO cool!!! =D

ReplyDeleteA friend told me that the bamboo is immersed in seawater to treat it. He promised to give me the documentation on it. I'll post it here once I get it. The ones shown here are also painted.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, check out the video I posted in the LINKS section about the lecture of Ross Lovegrove, an industrial designer. He showed a BAMBOO BIKE! =)
For those interested to know the different species of bamboo, how to treat them, how to use in construction and how to maintain, check out this website (http://www.cabiokid.org/showpages_folder/shownews_bamboo.html)
