Bamboo buildings are the future
19/03/2021
Substituting bamboo for more conventional building materials is a trademark technique of Vo Trong Nghia Architects, a Vietnamese architecture firm known for its sustainable buildings. The firm attracted global attention after constructing the Vietnam Pavilion bamboo at the Milan Expo 2015. Since then, they’ve been using the Asian plant to build resorts, spas, bridges, cafes and conference halls across Vietnam. They also use bamboo for interior design purposes, due to its earthy colour and organic texture. “The beauty of bamboo is that it doesn’t look like anything else,” says Vo Trong Nghia, the firm’s chief architect. “It’s completely unique.”
