"I think these kinds of homes are an excellent idea for the billion or two people living in suitable climate for it."
Yes, but people and bamboo have coexisted in these places for a long time, and majority of buildings aren't made of bamboo. So obviously other materials are cheaper/easier to work with otherwise I suspect they would have selected it as building material of choice.
- schainks 5y agoAgree, there’s plenty to factor into the “build a home” equation. The billion or two living in these climates also have to deal with serious bug-borne diseases. How do we get to cheap, sustainable building materials that also consider bugs or other important local requirements.
