A material used in medieval times and which is now being rediscovered: bamboo is environmentally friendly and has amazing properties that make this wonderland\u00a0plant perfect for the houses\u00a0of the future.<\/h2>\n

\"Bamboo\"<\/p>\n

The bamboo is a plant that has a\u00a0spontaneous<\/strong> and incredibly fast growth<\/strong>\u00a0(even 1m per day) and that has\u00a0the resistance<\/strong> to traction comparable to that of different alloy steels; used since ancient times for each type of construction, now architects and engineers, especially in Asia and South America, had\u00a0rediscovered it, creating eco<\/strong>–friendly<\/strong>, as well as earthquake-resistant<\/strong>, homes.<\/p>\n

\"Bamboo\"<\/p>\n

It is a plant with a thousand uses, ranging from cooking to interior design, from fabrics\u00a0to water and air filters. And it can be used in construction<\/strong>, where thanks to its flexibility and strength, gives the best of itself. Flooring, doors, but also as load-bearing walls: this plant can be used to build entire structures, also complex as a house. Two are the elements that convince more and more architects to choose this material: its environmental sustainability<\/strong> and its affordability<\/strong>. A bamboo forest absorbs carbon<\/strong> dioxide<\/strong>, releasing oxygen, as a few other plant species, and is much cheaper<\/strong> than the standard wood because it grows much more quickly and easily.<\/p>\n
