Bamboo Design Inspiration,

This review is from: Tropical Bamboo (Hardcover)
Marcelo Villegas's books on Guadua construction and the history of the Colombian building and their bamboo culture. I purchased this book in a bookstore in Bogotá in 2002 and it really blew my mind. I alter returned to Colombia to visit the areas photographed in the book. I later started a business and I can honestly say if it were not for this book and his net book New Bamboo I would have never had the inspiration to start this exciting business. The book is not as intensive as his proceeding book New Bamboo but I could not recommend high enough.
