3. About Bamboo
Bamboo comes from a grass
family knows as Poaceae. It
has a hollow stem and
thrives best in humid or tropic
climates.
There are over 1,500
different kinds of bamboo
species in more than 115
genera worldwide.
500 of those species can be
found in China.

4. About Bamboo
Bamboo is deep-
rooted in Chinese
history and culture;
it is a symbol of
traditional Chinese
ethics, and
represents a healthy
balance between
humans and nature.

5. About Bamboo
Sustainability
Bamboo is known to be the fastest growing plant. They have unique
attributes, such as their self-sufficient ability to regenerate, absorb carbon
dioxide, and release 35% more oxygen than trees; making this plant an
incredible sustainable solution to conquer environmental concerns.
When cut down, bamboo will grow back naturally by themselves as a
result of the plant’s rhizome structure. Trees however lack the qualities of
bamboo; having to be planted as a seed again after destruction.
A particular species known as Moso bamboo are able to complete their
growth within 35-40 days, whereas the average time it takes for a tree to
mature can be between 10-30 years.
Moso bamboo, also known as Phyllostachys edulis is the most common
bamboo used in China; used as a substitute of timber and other building
materials, and a backbone to the country’s bamboo industry.

6. Bamboo’s rhizomes hold a dependable network of roots, creating a unique
underground system that allow the plant’s culm to grow at an exceptional speed.

TECHNOLOGY
We extract the nutrients (sugar and starch) from the bamboo, add
phenolic resin to it (the same resin found in bowling balls), then
compress it 2:1; forming Fused Bamboo.
Because the Fused Bamboo does not contain any more nutrients, it
becomes resistant to bacterias, fungus, moulds and insects. This
technology also helps the fibres to defy rotting under different
conditions and environments.

17. We crystallise the fibres with CeramiX®, add phenolic resin (the same
resin found in bowling balls), then compress it 2:1 to form Exterior
Fused Bamboo.
When bamboo contains CeramiX®; it crystallises the natural nutrients
which stops it from attracting bacterias, fungus, moulds and insects.
This technology also helps the fibres to defy rotting under different
conditions and environments.

Pekka Salminen
of PES-Architects
For this project that was completed in 2018, Pekka Salminen wanted to incorporate
Chinese cultural design elements within the 150,000 square meter project area of this
ancient city, and chose to incorporate our bamboo along with other elements such as
ceramics.
Dasso’s custom-made bamboo was applied in the theatre hall as cladding, while solid
bamboo blocks were used to stylishly enhance the acoustics of performers.
This theatre has now become a prominent landmark in Fuzhou.
