Great video, awesome insides
Glad you like them! 🎍🧡
Hi guys. Thanks so much for sharing this info.
I'm part of a company in South Africa and we are trying to develop bamboo house typologies with ISO bamboo standards as a point of departure etc.
As with anything in South Africa, we are 25 years behind the rest of the world.
Do you folks know of any structural engineers that have worked with bamboo that can help us with the structural design?
Or any useful tools, processes or methodologies?
We have the right species of bamboo and plan to use D.Asper / B.Balcooa / Beema roxb for construction (eg. 3 culm composite beam rafters)
Our houses will have walls (likely non-load bearing bamboo panels with earth plaster) as we could honestly not call it a house if it was an open/wall-less pavilion.
James provided a few statistics for example the energy of bamboo vs steel and aluminium etc. - what's the source of that data?
Lastly, if its no secret, what is the name of the mostly solid bamboo from Vietnam?
Appreciate your feedback and thanks again.
