The call for sustainable and affordable housing is clear. Can we diminish our ecological footprint while addressing a need for housing? When building with concrete, wood, and other conventional materials, we contribute to harmful environmental impacts: carbon emissions, excessive water use, deforestation, and more. Bamboo is a unique alternative with rapid growth cycles, carbon-sequestering abilities, and mechanical strength. How is bamboo currently used in the built environment, and how can it flourish in the future?
