Summary note
  • Although traditionally a building material of the warmer climate zones, bamboo is becoming increasingly popular amongst architects in the northern hemisphere; bamboo has several advantages - it is very stable, of low weight, and highly elastic, in addition to being readily available as well as renewable. The applications of bamboo in architecture have become significantly wider and diversified, so that today, even structures with large spans - such as bridges - are built with this material. The new and revised second edition of this manual provides a practical, systematic overview of the numerous potential applications and processing methods of this renewable material. The comprehensive presentation of groundbreaking bamboo buildings has been updated with more recent projects.
  • Ein traditionelles Baumaterial der warmen Klimazonen Asiens und Lateinamerikas, erfreut sich Bambus eines wachsenden Interesses unter Architekten der nördlichen Hemisphäre: Bambus hat nicht nur ein geringes Gewicht bei großer Stabilität und ist ausgesprochen elastisch, sondern zeichnet sich auch durch Eigenschaften aus, die in Zeiten schwindender Ressourcen besonders gefragt sind: das Material ist reichlich verfügbar und zudem erneuerbar. Die Anwendungsbereiche von Bambus in der Architektur haben sich erheblich erweitert und diversifiziert, so dass heute sogar weitgespannte Konstruktionen wie Brücken daraus gebaut werden. Von diesen technischen und ästhetischen Möglichkeiten beeindruckt, nutzen auch Architekten in Europa, Nordamerika und Japan Bambus für vielfältige Bauaufgaben. In den letzten Jahren sind unter anderem private Wohnhäuser und Ausstellungspavillons aus Bambus entstanden, Überdachungen und sogar Schul- und Museumsgebäude. Die neue und überarbeitete 2. Auflage dieses Handbuchs bietet einen praxisorientierten systematischen Überblick über die zahlreichen Einsatzmöglichkeiten und Verarbeitungstechniken dieses nachwachsenden Materials. Die umfangreiche Präsentation von Bambusbauten wurde durch neuere Projekte aktualisiert.
