i own Building with Bamboo: A Handbook by Jules J.A. Janssen
and i think it is the best practical guide i have found so far. notice how
Amazon does not have any b/c it is such a great resource that they can not keep
many in stock. here <http://www.powells.com/biblio/62-9781853392030-1> is where
i bought the book, while visiting friends in Portland OR. i could not beleive i
found it in a store, but then i found-out that Powel is that kind of kewl
bookstore, go figure (West coast USA). problem with most books is that they
treat "Building with Bamboo" as a hobby activity and not something serious. You
might want to try to contact Jules J.A. Janssen and see if you can go to
Columbia to learn about building with bamboo.
Bamboo Cultivation and Construction Apr 13-15, 2007
<http://www.thefarm.org/etc/courses.html> course. i visited and know that
