Some people say: "The 17th century is the stone age; the 18th century is the peak of brick; the 19th century is dominated by iron; the 20th century is the century of concrete; and the 21st century will become the era of bamboo."

Bamboo has been widely used since ancient times. Whether it is simple incineration or slightly complicated papermaking, this natural material has played an outstanding role. Especially the bamboo building is amazing.

Hall of Supreme Harmony

As the largest existing bamboo structure in China, I think everyone can often hear another name in the film and television works - Jin Yu Temple

Many people think that this is the place where the ancient emperors went up. In fact, the Hall of Supreme Harmony is a place for holding various ceremonies.

Shijiata, Buddha Temple, Shanxi Province

The tallest bamboo tower in China and even in the world is 67 meters high. It has a pure bamboo structure, no nails and no riveting. It has not fallen for thousands of years. It is also known as the "Three Great Chitas of the World" with the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Eiffel Tower.

From a technical point of view, the internationally recognized light bamboo structure can generally cover 9 layers and 30 meters.

So is the Sakyama the height limit that bamboo architecture can achieve?

In fact, any material will have a certain bearing limit. Although the natural bamboo has excellent bending resistance, it is difficult to support the bamboo. After the weather-beaten bamboo tower, it will face the problem of structural or component damage.

In this way, how likely is the 21st century to be the age of bamboo architecture?

Everyone should pay attention to a problem. The ancient bamboo buildings mostly use natural bamboo. When used, they often only have simple treatment. More achievements are through the combination of structure and mechanics, which produces amazing results.

Compared with ancient times, the treatment of bamboo can be described as gorgeous, which has to introduce the bamboo material used in modern times - interlaced laminated bamboo.

This new type of bamboo building material is sorted and cut into bamboo by kiln dried sylvestris. After orthogonal (90 degree) stacking, high-strength material is used to synthesize solid bamboo board. It is said that the strength can compete with concrete material, green. Environmentally friendly and even have excellent fire performance. The 榫卯 structure can basically meet the general strength requirements, and the higher ones are reinforced with nails, screws and steel members. The bamboo building is no longer a pure bamboo building, but a “mixed bamboo building” combined with the times.

Some friends will ask what are the advantages and disadvantages of this material.

Obviously, the advantage is that the assembly is simple, and the cooling cycle is not required like concrete, which shortens the construction period.

There have been many successful mixed bamboo construction cases in the contemporary era.

In addition to the completed bamboo buildings, various concept bamboo buildings have also appeared, among which the Tokyo W350 building is the most spectacular.

To commemorate the company's 350th anniversary in 2041, Japanese bamboo tycoon Sumitomo Forestry Group decided to build a 70-story, 350-meter-high bamboo building in Tokyo. If it is not a hoe, it should be the world's tallest bamboo building.

The advantages are obvious and the disadvantages are the same:

• 1. There are too many connections between the components. Will there be hidden dangers in the whole body?
• 2, the material itself is too light, too many modern natural disasters, can you survive a big typhoon like "Mangosteen"?
• 3, as the main material spruce, although renewable, but the growth rate is actually very slow, the global large-scale rise of bamboo construction wave is basically impossible.

Although universality may be impractical, the particularity is more than enough. The traditional return is not necessarily an old-fashioned experience. The improved tradition is also an innovation. I hope that with the development of the times, we can see more appreciation. Bamboo building with practicality!
