Bamboo and its many varieties are becoming ever more popular as a design material for landscapes, squares, and gardens. With its widely varying hardiness, height, and leaf structure, the grass
can be cultivated under many different conditions. Because of its special physical characteristics it can also be used as a material in domains such as architecture and furniture design. After
a basic technical introduction, which provides a sound background on the plant's characteristic qualities and basic traits, this book guides us in discovering the value and use of bamboos in
urban and rural spaces. Authors with professional expertise, and colour illustrations convey exhaustive information and numerous examples of the creative uses of bamboo.
