Eco Factor: Sustainable building made from bamboo and other natural materials.

Eco-conscious architect and designer Vo Trong Nghia has created a sustainable café in the Binh Duong province of Vietnam, which has been crafted entirely from bamboo and other natural materials. Christened the Water and Wind Café, the structure shows how strong bamboo can be without making use of even a single nail.

The dynamic domed structure, which has been created without using any modern machinery or metal structures, has been weaved together using traditional Vietnamese weaving techniques. The 30ft tall structure, which is covered in a local bush plant, has an opening at the top of the dome, which allows daylight to filter through, reducing the overall energy demands.
