A Bamboo House is flexible, even transitory. For Dorothy it involved twenty- two house moves across six countries. All in just thirty-three years. People who live in these houses may be either in or out of the Ivory Tower. On or off the payroll. Careers begin, grow, and sometimes change shape. Residents move from naivete to wisdom, while patience curbs selfishness. A Bamboo House is where youth becomes maturity, and love and marriage can happen. Children are born and become teenagers. Meanwhile, dear friends enrich the days and enlarge our horizons.

It isn't easy for Tori Takahashi and Polly Griffin to be best friends. There are so many differences-how they look, where they live, and how they feel about things. Yet, the thoughtful ways of one and the enthusiasm of the other make for a winning combination. Every week Tori and her mother ride the trolley through Berkeley to Polly's house where Mrs. Takahashi cleans and sews for the Griffins. Tori delights in this magical world, especially planning adventures and sharing secrets with Polly in her bamboo garden. The hot, dry summer of 1923 makes the stalks taller and stronger, just like the girls' friendship. Surprisingly, their biggest adventure is about to begin. All the signs are there: the strange weather, the troubling news delivered by a disagreeable neighbor girl, and a hobo's remarkable gift. Kids nine and up who love The Penderwicks (Birdsall) or Al Capone Does My Shirts (Choldenko) will snatch up The Bamboo Garden, a story of friendship, prejudice and courage.

With modern, brightly-colored paintings, it retells the legend of how a sympathetic goddess took pity on the Dai people, and helped them to build bamboo houses to shelter them from the wind and rain.
This thesis focuses on ecological living through the use of bamboo. It explores how the material can be used for methods of prefabricated housing design within the United States. It also uses a "ht of parts" and describes two examples that exemplify good use of bamboo. While bamboo is increasingly being used as a source of material in many applications, including elements such as flooring, decorative elements, and even semi conductors, it has not been used as a structural material in the United States, where most built projects are created using a wood frame structure. Bamboo has several advantages as a green machine that can positively influence our lives. Some of these advantages include its high strength to weight ratio which is comparable to that of steel and wood. Bamboo's short duration allows for renewable architecture to turn over more rapidly. New technologies have overcome previous problems such as the susceptibility to termite attacks and weaknesses in joint connections. This thesis intends to revise the idea of ecological living in the United States that integrates bamboo into housing construction. There are three main parts in this thesis: the first is to explore the aesthetics of bamboo structures. The second will take a look at the workings of joinery systems that appeal to the U.S. market. By synthesizing all my findings from the research literature, a city dwelling habitat would be designed through the use of a "kit of parts" innovation.
