Abstract

The rapid pace of growth requires the creation of appropriate space through infrastructure development. However, it's crucial to prioritize environmental considerations and additional construction's necessity. Bamboo, a versatile and sustainable material, holds immense architectural potential, especially in regions like Central India and Uttar Pradesh (UP) where it is abundantly available. To maximize the use of locally available bamboo in India's composite climate, investigate its properties, address usage challenges, and assess its potential as a sustainable material.Bamboo can be used structurally and non-structurally. Dendrocalmus strictus, Bambusa Bamboos, and Bambusa Balcoa are the locally available species that can be grown in local regions. Can be used for making temporary toilets near rivers, and sitting spaces that can be changed after 15 years. Can be used in making facades as well as interior walls.
