1371 (10") Bambauhaus. Category 03: Affordable Housing
Gordon Karau: USA
The form of this house derives from structural logic: bamboo is strongest when bending, or when resisting both tensile and compressive forces simultaneously. This building utilizes “bent bamboo” or “bowstring” trusses, which are used as posts extending the full height of the structure.
