Bamboo Buildings by Colombian Architect Simon Velez
Geschreven op 8-2-2011 - Erik van Erne. Geplaatst in Bouwen-Klussen
Colombian architect Simon Velez is changing notions about what bamboo can do.
Velez has used bamboo to build massive domes, cathedrals and long-span bridges that soar across highways.
His stunning designs and his pioneering use of bamboo make him a one-of-a-kind architect who has won awards around the world.
But his constructions are also drawing attention because they’re providing a more environmentally sustainable way of building.
