Bamboo!

I met with local DC architect Meghan Walsh, AIA, last Saturday after blindly contacting her when I saw her name in the Feminist Practices exhibit at the Kibel Gallery at school. Her board displayed work she has done with her organization Axis Mundi in Brazil. In the short meeting she gave me great recommendations about where to look for tectonic approaches to resolving my project.

Bamboo and eucaliptus are two materials with plenty of promise and here are some big names in the field of bamboo and alternative materials construction:
