Article	ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN OF BAMBOO AS AN ECOLOGICAL ALTERNATIVE MATERIAL OF THE XXI CENTURY
Authors	Y.M. Solanilla Medina, Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, Moscow, Russia
Abstract	The article discusses the practice of using bamboo in modern architecture, and the use of renewable natural material in the design and construction of buildings and structures. A brief description of the creativity of modern architects using bamboo as the main building material is given. The article notes that designing from bamboo, an alternative environmental material of the XXI century, in comparison with traditional materials used in the design and construction of facilities, gives freedom to new architectural and constructive solutions. The morphological structure of bamboo is considered and the factors ensuring their rigidity and flexibility as a constructive element in construction are noted.
