Description
Of all the sustainable materials now available, none is more interesting than bamboo. Botanically classified as a grass, bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on the earth, easy to harvest, alternately flexible or stiff (depending on the application) and extremely strong (stronger, in fact, than steel), and is in use in applications as diverse as flooring, building structures, furniture, aeronautics, and high-end racing bikes. Bamboo is a portrait of this dynamic and amazing material and a guide to its many uses across the design spectrum. Striking color illustrations convey exhaustive technical and botanical information while experts in fields such as biotechnology, wood technology, and horticulture explain technical properties such as the different varieties, their methods of propagation and habitat requirements, as well as information on the uses of bamboo in numerous design situations. A must-have volume for any designer interested in working with this exciting and flexible material.
