Bamboo+Abode=Bambode

Bamboo is an efficient building element in tropical rural regions, but is quite perishable. In spite of being an excellent structural element; it is seldom used for permanent structures. To circumvent this problem the idea is to allow for the bamboo members to be replaced in 2 years time without compromising the structural integrity of the building & people still living in the building. The solution is a two layer bamboo weave structure with sets of cast iron galvanized pivoting X & + joints holding up the bamboo members. Before the bamboo starts to rot, it can be replaced, for its twin member in the second layer is still in place. Vice versa after a while, the other member can be replaced as the new first member stays in place and this will go in cycles. In Shinto architecture, one can change structural members even while the structure is standing because of Bracketing, but in this case it will be possible because of the weave structure, which is even more efficient
