Recognizing bamboo as an ideal building material, both beautiful and functional, this guide fully explores the renewable resource known as "the poor man's wood." A highly valued tool for artists, designers, and architects in recent years, bamboo is elegantly featured through gorgeous photographs that reveal bamboo's many innovative architectural uses and highlight its starring role in furniture, handcrafts, and sculpture by Colombian designers.
Marcelo Villegas is a top Colombian designer who translates traditional techniques for working with bamboo into the language of modern design.
