What an Amazon reviewer says about Grow your own house:

  • ... the best recent book to state the bamboo mainfesto of strength, versatility and modular nature of bamboo.
  • ... If you have any interest in environmentally sound design, this is THE coffeetable book to have
  • ... bamboo may emerge as a key building material worldwide. Velez's mushroom dome for the Hannover Expo 2000 was a gorgeous massive structure in bamboo that established bamboo use in large-scale architectural projects.
