2008-08-05 05:19:00 Is it me or does it seem there are more bicyclists and motorcyclists on the road these days?

ROEWU's Bamboo Forest House.
2008-08-04 18:28:00 ROEWU's Bamboo Forest House. This vacation house is designed by UK based architect ROEWUarchitecuture, completed recently for an extended family, located in Ilan, Taiwan. In Taiwan, security for the building's occupants is generally provided by adding metal enclosure to every window. But here is where the ROEWUarchitecuture came up with an interesting concept: a variable screen of bamboos. As this is located in a dense urban area and has party walls on two sides, the house gains light and air through its street, and the bamboo screen was the perfect choice as it provided both privacy and security for the building's occupants.Other Posts:Motor Guitar.Flower Dog Bouquet.Cars With A Difference.Amazing Cockpit Photos.System Administrator Appreciation Day.

Bamboo!
2008-05-21 21:26:00 Bamboo is strong and resilient...clipped from www.newsweek.comDespite its lowly reputation, bamboo may be the strongest stuff on the planet. It has greater tensile strength (or resistance to being pulled apart) than steel, and it withstands compression better than concrete. Both qualities are essential to keeping the plant, which grows to nearly 60 meters but is only as wide at the base as the very top, from falling over. It needs the compression strength to hold up its own weight and tensile strength to bend in the wind without breaking. "Our concept of strength is, it doesn't move, it doesn't break," says Dan Smith, who owns Smith & Fong, the largest manufacturer of bamboo plywood in the United States. "The Chinese concept is, you've got to bend with things. If you don't bend, you break. Bamboo's strength is in its ability to bend, and that's the miracle."...it grows quickly as weed and it grows up again when cut.clipped from www.newsweek.comThe Western mind is also open...

Bamboo clothes - future of the garment industry?
2008-05-09 17:16:00 Making textile from bamboo does not seem to be any more strange than making clothes from wood. Yes, they do. The wood fiber is called viscose, and the fabric is very soft and nice to wear. Bamboo fiber is made in much the same way as viscose, but the bamboo has a lot of other nice properties, besides being soft. Here are some of them. Bamboo fiber absorbs perspiration and will not stick to your skin. It's great ability to breath makes bamboo garments particularly comfortable in hot temperatures. They are also warm in cold weather. Bamboo is also naturally anti-bacterial and this makes bamboo clothing stay fresh and odor free longer. It is also anti-static, UV protecting and anti fungal. Bamboo is also considered environmentally friendly since it grows like wildfire, and does not require green thumbs to cultivate. To add to this, bamboo grows in many Third World countries that could well use the additional export revenue. We have a couple of bamboo (and bamboo-cotton mix) t-shirt...

What's so good about Bamboo Hardwood Floors?
2008-05-07 17:24:00 I recently listed a townhome at Rivertrail in Redmond where the owners replaced the carpet on the first floor with bamboo flooring from bamboohardwoods.com Above is a sample of the flooring used, and I am noting some info from the brochure so I have a link to some FAQ's about this "strand woven engineered" bamboo floor. Why Use Bamboo? "Bamboo is harvested and replenished with no impact to the environment. It can be selectively harvested annually and is capable of complete regeneration without the need to replant. Because of its short growth cycle, it can be harvested in 3-5 years vs. 10-100 years for most tree woods." Strength and Durability "The Janka Ball Harness Test measures the force required to drive a 11.28mm steel ball half it's diameter into the wood. The test is a good indicator of resistance to denting as well as its harness for nailing and drilling." From softest to hardest: Fir-Pine-NA Cherry-Walnut-Moso Bamboo-R...

Chic Fashion Made From Bamboo...
2008-04-21 02:28:00 Well, I certainly learned something new! Clothes made from bamboo (and no, I didn't try to make that rhyme..). To celebrate Earth Day 2008 (April, 2008), we can all do more to reduce our "carbon footprint". Listen, I'm not someone you would call a "tree-hugger", but I do recognize the importance of "recycling, re-using and reducing waste" even if I don't do it all the time. And clothes made from sustainable products, like bamboo (which just happens to be one of the fastest growing plants on the planet, making it an enduring natural resource), is definitely a step in the right direction.

A Banquet, Bamboo And A Whole Bunch Of Extraordinary Food
2008-04-16 18:35:00 H’s colleague M, a grand gent with knowledge of all things Eastern, hosted a banquet at his 1930’s house in the French Concession area of Shanghai. This was a part of the city controlled by the French from the 1850’s until 1940’s, when the French and other foreigners cleared out of Shanghai.We walked through a wide alleyway surrounded by older apartment buildings into a walled garden, gently lit by lanterns. We entered the house through a large room divided into dining and living room spaces. Two enormous statues kept guard near the doorways. A beautiful tree (shaped like a giant bonsai) held colorful lanterns of different sizes and shapes which illuminated the room.We moved to the long large roughly hewn wooden table, smartly covered with glass. Dish after dish appeared by the phalanx of folks in the kitchen. We were just catching our breathe and M informed us that those were just the appetizers and we were only halfway done! Gracious!I may have left out a dish or two. We h...

The Bamboo - A Miracle Material
2008-04-09 20:18:00 In the world of the building materials, bamboo could compete successfully against steel, concrete, wood and glass. Because of its exceptional mechanical qualities, low price and design, bamboo could turn into one of the preferred building materials of the future. Even if it looks like a tree, the bamboo is just a woody perennial evergreen grass, related to cereals like wheat, corn or rice. Bamboo plantationFor more than 2,000 years, the bamboo has been used for building suspended bridges, houses, scaffolds, but also for making home products, furniture, pirogues, and musical instruments. The Chinese employed it in making a wide range of tools, from surgical needles (pieces with widths of tenths of millimeters, used for sewing nerves) to pipe lines, even during the 4th century BC. They used bamboo pipe lines to transport the brine from the salt mines of Tsu-Liu-Ching (Sichuan province).Some bamboo construction resisted over the millennia. The suspended bamboo...
