Bamboo has been in common use for architectural construction for centuries in Asia and Latin America. Today, it is becoming increasingly popular amongst architects in the northern hemisphere due to several advantages – it is very stable, of low weight and highly elastic, in addition to sequestering large quantities of carbon because of its rapid growth. Renowned universities such as the ETH Zürich or the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have conducted research on engineered bamboo. The third edition of this manual provides a systematic overview of the applications and processing methods of this renewable material. Recent inspiring bamboo buildings have been added.
