1. Building with Bamboo: 6 Unique
Ways

2. ZCB Bamboo Pavilion, Hong Kong
This outdoor pavilion was built in 2015 and has a seating capacity of 200 people. Mostly it is used to host performances, exhibitions and
events. This particular project was built using 473 large natural bamboo poles, that were bent right there onsite to shape the structure. Then
they were hand-tied together with a metal wire using century-old Cantonese bamboo scaffolding techniques.

3. Chan Chan Tourist Station, Trujillo, Peru
This visitors’ center is located at the entrance of the Tschudi Palace, which is the only palace open to visitors among the eight other palaces of the ancient
city of Chan Chan. This bamboo structure is something you want to see. Not to mention, the 500 years old ruins that are made of sand and mud.

4. Bottle Sail, Do Son, Haiphong, Vietnam
You wouldn’t know it by just looking at this structure. But, it is actually built to address several different issues. These bottle seeding houses have been built
for rural communities that are affected by HIV/AIDS, aiming to help people with the disease to reintegrate socially. The structure serves close to 10,000
tomato seedlings per season and serves as a place for the farmers to rest and relax out of the sun.

5. Toigetation, Cao Bang, Vietnam
This structure, also referred to as Cao Bang, was built to show that there is a need for sanitation facilities in these impoverished areas in
Vietnam. The Cao Bang structure contains a restroom and wash area. Currently, many schools in Vietnam don’t even have a clean toilet.

6. Bamboo Pavilion, Songyang, Lishui, China
This bamboo structure took eight weeks to build and sits in the middle of a tea field. This space allows for tourists to stop and
rest. Who wouldn’t want to go lay and look up at the beautiful blue skies?!

7. Green Ladder, Sydney, Australia
Green Ladder is a art structure created to show that bamboo has many structural capabilities. The structure is made out of Vietnamese
ladders. To make the ladders, the bamboo is treated in natural waterways for two months, then subjecting it to a month of fire smoke. The
ladders are then bound together with string, creating a grid that supports the baskets holding the plants.
