In the article, “An Architect’s Guide to Building with Bamboo”, Vadot, (n.d) states that bamboo is a reliable and sustainable material for future construction. He mentions that bamboos can mature fast with little maintenance and it is being harvested in various places around the world. Bamboo is available at a low cost in these areas, and it is affordable due to its light weight as it can be transported easily. He also notes that bamboo is often referred to as an alternative for steel due to its hardness. He then explained that the bottom and top part of the bamboo can be used for different purpose in construction. He concludes that it is impossible to classify all 1,200 species of bamboo under a standardized civil building code. However, standards have been made locally in Columbia. While Vadot mentions mainly about the advantages of bamboo and how it should be used as a material in construction, he did not mention much about the disadvantages and why is it not being used commonly. ...

In the article, “An Architect’s Guide to Building with Bamboo,” Vadot (n.d) develops on the idea of bamboo as a sustainable material for the future of construction. He mentions that bamboos can mature fast with little maintenance and it is being harvested in various places around the world. Bamboo is available at a low cost in these areas, and it is affordable due to its lightweight as it can be transported easily. He also notes that bamboo is often referred to as an alternative for steel due to its hardness. He then explained that the bottom and top part of the bamboo can be used for different purpose in construction. He concludes that because of its drastically volatile material due to different environments, it makes it impossible to classify the 1,200 species under a standardized civil building code, however standards have been made locally in Columbia.
