Love the application of Structural Bamboo shown here. Ming Tang’s Folding Houses are a great and practical expression of what can be done with bamboo.

There’s a slew of bamboo designs you can see at http://www.bamboocompetition.com/finalists.html
Its a Bamboo Design competition from 2007 that generated a broad range of designs, some 250 designs in 12 building categories submitted from 64 countries.

The contest was sponsored by Bamboo Technologies who is the first to offer prefabricated building code certified hurricane and earthquake proof residential homes, resorts and commercial structures from their factory in Viet Nam, all built from Structural Bamboo.

http://www.bambooliving.com/ shows a variety of standardized and custom designs that are reasonably priced and fast to assemble anywhere in the world.

Go Bamboo!!!
