The future of architecture may lie in a natural material like bamboo; there is already a proposal for a city built with this environmentally friendly material, which also offers additional advantages.
Cities built with this eco-friendly material could provide a sustainable solution the population growth that many countries are experiencing, such as China.
This bamboo city could be home to about 200,000 people, Although initially only about 20 families will be able to benefit from it, the project will expand as the population grows.
This project could be available in the near future, as it is scheduled for 2023. The architects at the Penda studio have been tasked with developing the project, ensuring that Architecture must rethink conventional construction methods.
This material has already proven its full potential in previous projects advantages. Its rapid growth, for example, which makes this material highly competitive economically, or to be strong, flexible, and lightweight, which is particularly interesting for areas at risk of earthquakes.
In addition, air pockets form inside the bamboo, making this material also acts as a good insulator, noise, cold, and heat.
