Bamboo, in Architecture

Strong, natural & sustainable 
This grass is a brilliant building material 

Long & tappered pole
Big & small, each has an important role

If treated & protected from sun & rain 
For decades, the structures will sustain 

No two poles are ever same
Beautiful organic structures, helped earn its fame

Bend, tie & weave - pole, strips & lidi
Talk to it, and use it where it wants to be

Just as strong as steel but way lighter
Its future in architecture is brighter
