| On
their struggle for survival, primitive men
searched a way out of the jungles where they lived, moving
into caves and grottos, where there was more controled environment,
without rain, wind and scarry thunders. They could defend
themselves better, having a harmonized society. When the
lack of space forced them out of caves men started using
natural resources to build temporary "caves".
And there was stone, wood, dirt, sand, leaves, and certainly
bamboo. It is tubular, long and tough. Flexible and
easy handling, and lighter than most strong construction
materials. |

In
Asia we have preserved examples of antique bamboo architecture,
in japanese, chinese and indian temples. Taj Mahal
had its upper dome recently structure by metal, when the
milenar bamboo structure was replaced. Bamboo bridge construction
in China is awesome, they are huge and tensionated
with bamboo ropes. We find many popular bamboo
habitations in Africa.
