First Bamboo Biennale Creates Cutting-Edge Structures in Small Chinese Village
Celebrating bamboo as a construction material, the first International Bamboo Architecture Biennale took place in the small village of Baoxi, China in 2016. The mainly agricultural mountain village is located twelve hours from Shanghai and is now home to these incredible structures designed by twelve international architects. These images, shot by photographer Julien Lanoo, give a sense at how the bamboo buildings blend into the community as permanent structures.
