The concept of the bamboo house is basically a series of bamboo poles that are assembled to create a rigid shape. Once the shape of choice has been made it is covered with pre-consumer recycled paper.the structures design is amazing and will be a very nice alternative to the 1.5 million homes that where supposed to be built. At the moment this is only a concept but we hope to see many of these being built for the future.
I really like the origami style design they went with because once on the landscape it looks very nice and can also be made into many different sizes and styles. You can look at more pictures of the concept design below.
Ming Tang came up with this concept after a magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck central China killing 69,000 people. He decided to design a shelter that was easily produced, cheap and environmentally friendly.
