Among the giant Philodendron leaves, vines, palms, and wildlife in the jungles of Costa Rica, there grows many species of bamboo. Some more giant than others.
Bamboo grows quickly, multiplying exponentially. You can actually hear it growing. So what a perfect resource for building!
They have so much beautiful, tropical and often rustic architecture in Costa Rica...and quite a bit includes bamboo.
Windows
Ceilings
Structures
Fences and Gates
It's time we did more with bamboo...It is resistant to bacteria and rot, it tolerates moisture, it can be used as beautiful flooring in place of hardwoods, there is an endless supply...oh the possibilities!
