The Importance of Communication Skills for Engineers

In the article, “An Architect’s Guide to Building with Bamboo”, Vadot (n.d) develops the idea of using bamboo as a sustainable material for the future of construction. He mentions that bamboo can mature fast with little maintenance and are being harvested in various places around the world. Being a lightweight material, bamboo is available at a low cost in these areas and is easy to transport. He also notes that while bamboo is often referred to as an alternative for steel, it is quite fragile and requires treatment and protection from various natural circumstances. He concludes that it is hard to normalise bamboo as construction material as it is impossible to classify the 1,200 species under a standardised civil building code. However standards have been made locally in Columbia. While Vadot (n.d) mentions the advantages of using bamboo, he fails to elaborate sufficiently about the disadvantages.  Firstly, Vadot (n.d) only briefly mentions that bamboo requires treatment and protectio

He mentions that bamboos can mature fast with little maintenance and are being harvested in various places around the world. Bamboo being a lightweight material, is available at a low cost in these areas, and is affordable and easy to transport. He also notes that while bamboo is often referred to as an alternative for steel, it is quite fragile, and requires treatment and protection from various natural circumstances. He concludes that it is hard to normalise bamboo as construction material as it is impossible to classify the 1,200 species under a standardised civil building code, however standards have been made locally in Columbia.
