In its natural form, Bamboo as a construction material is traditionally associated with the
cultures of South East Asia and the South Pacific, to some extent in
Central and South America, and by extension in the aesthetic of Tiki
culture.
In the Philippines, they call it the Bahay Kubo or Nipa Hut is a type of stilt house indigenous to the vast majority of Filipino culture. It often serves as an icon of Philippine culture or more specifically, Filipino rural culture. It is a fairly typical example of the most basic sort of housing where bamboo is used; the walls are split and woven bamboo, and bamboo slats and poles may be used as its support. The Filipino term Bahay Kubo literally means "cube house", describing the shape of the dwelling. The term "Nipa Hut", introduced during the Philippines' American Colonial era, refers to the nipa or anahaw thatching material often used for the roofs.
Bamboo, like true wood, is a natural composite material with a high strength-to-weight ratio useful for structures. Bamboo has a higher compressive strength than wood, brick or concrete and a tensile strength that rivals steel.
