Chiangmai Life Architects' Principal Markus Roselieb explains why bamboo is such an amazing construction material with benefits for all involved. For example it has a higher tensile strength than steel and at the same time is lighter. Instead of emitting carbon during "production" like steel, it actually absorbs carbon during "production" = growth. It lends it self to organic curves thus creating memorable and heart-warming structures. And it is beautiful to behold without much effort. And during production the money goes to the small people, instead of like steel to big foreign conglomerates
