Bamboo

The big construction material of the East use to be bamboo. But now in modern Taiwan with all the prefab and modular construction it is hard to find. But as a one off renovation of old buildings it's still around. But I think those that know how to use it will not be around forever.

Here we have the renovation of an old temple in Tainan.

There's no prefab modules for this kind of work.

And the workers up there is the sky have to have the gods on their side.

Here is a temple window where they acknowledge the role of bamboo, but in the medium of cement.

For now bamboo is regulated to the role of ornamental garden props.
