Bamboo grows particularly well in these regions and can be used as a building material. The idea of a laboratory for building materials, is to investigate whether and how processed bamboo can be used for the local building industry. Above all, we want to focus on the use of bamboo as a substitute for steel. Bamboo is inexpensive, grows very quickly, binds a lot of carbon, does not rust and is extremely resilient.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18c62c84 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"18c62c84\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWHAT ELSE TALKS FOR BAMBOO\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a19d0a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6a19d0a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBecause bamboo is a pioneer crop and can be grown on soils that are unsuitable for other crops or have been overexploited, it does not compete directly with food production. It could form the basis for an alternative construction technology that replaces expensive imported building materials and thus promotes the economic sustainability of the construction industry in developing countries. Better yet, bamboo could possibly even reverse the typical flow of materials, which is currently mainly from developed countries towards developing regions. Manufacturing high-performance bamboo products would boost the local value chain and lay the foundation for a key new industry based on this renewable resource.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7330f718 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7330f718\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1128\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.smilinggecko.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WORLD-BAMBOO-HABITAT.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-10695\" alt=\"World map showing bamboo distribution, mainly in tropical and subtropical regions.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.smilinggecko.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WORLD-BAMBOO-HABITAT.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/staging.smilinggecko.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WORLD-BAMBOO-HABITAT-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.smilinggecko.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WORLD-BAMBOO-HABITAT-1024x578.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.smilinggecko.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WORLD-BAMBOO-HABITAT-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.smilinggecko.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WORLD-BAMBOO-HABITAT-1536x866.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/staging.smilinggecko.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WORLD-BAMBOO-HABITAT-400x226.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2177139 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2177139\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<em>Habitable zone for bamboo<\/em>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51a300fe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"51a300fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTHE NEXT STEP: A BUILDING MATERIALS LAB ON THE SMILING GECKO CAMPUS\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7003ee83 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7003ee83\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSGC would like to advance the development of this innovative technical material and is cooperating with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), represented by the Chair of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Dirk E.
