Construction with bamboo has a large tradition in Asia and the southern region of China. The current state irresponsible city planning, pollution and economic crises asks to the architecture profession to rethink their process and sustainable materials like Bamboo.

Therefore the building and the way bamboo is used as a structure is very much involved in a life-cycle of plants. A true ecological approach of building, which leaves no harm to the surrounding environment and therefor a counter-movement to a conventional city planning.
