Abstract

Since the 20th century, forest resources have been cut down endlessly while the world’s economy is developing rapidly. The earth is becoming warmer and the haze is serious. In the 21st century, we must rationally coordinate the relationship between human, natural environment and development. Now most designers design from the perspectives of energy, ecology, materials, and environmental protection, and consider the relationship between materials, space and psychophysiology of human. China has rich bamboo resources and its production ranks first in the world. Therefore, the use of bamboo resources has its own characteristics, which can not only maintain the ecological balance but also save the economic expenditure. Bamboo is ideal material for architectural design. In this paper, the application of bamboo materials in architectural design, various characteristics of bamboo materials, as well as practical cases and design innovations in traditional and modern architecture are analyzed. And this paper tries to find the value of bamboo in architectural design from the macro point of view. This paper also has confirmed the results of the study through multiple practical cases. In the near future, bamboo will certainly become one of the major materials in contemporary architectural design, and it will be uniquely innovative in design performance, which will make the entire construction sector alive and vital.
