Building with bamboo looks back on an
ancient tradition in the regions in which plant grows in abundance, such as
South America, Africa and, in particular, in South-EastAsia. Bamboo is one of
the oldest construction materials.
Bamboo has durable rootstocks, the
rhizomes. After a seedling has produced the first rhizome, the differentiated
rhizome system will begin to develop. Its circumferential and longitudinal
growth increases annually. It is only after twelve and more years that canes of
full thickness and height will be produced. According to the type of branching
of the rhizomes the main group of the bamboos is called monopodial, whereas the
other group is called sympodial.
