Material

Bamboo

Bamboo is a fast-growing grass processed into plywood panels through harvesting, milling, kiln drying, adhesive application, and pressing, primarily using Moso bamboo in a 3-ply construction for architectural applications. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) verify its lifecycle impacts from raw material extraction to disposal.

Used in cultural buildings, landscapes, and museums as plywood panels, often paired with glass and timber for cladding, ceilings, and carved acoustic elements. Provides durability and compression resistance exceeding concrete in panel form.

Biogenic carbon release from biomass combustion drives global warming potential; electricity dominates in carved products at 51-52% of GWP, with adhesives contributing to abiotic resource depletion.
