Simón Vélez: Architect Mastering Bamboo

This is a thoughtful and beautiful book about the work of Simon Velez, a Colombian architect whose work shows elegance and simplicity in design. While it is not a technical book about bamboo construction, it is an inspiring display of Simon Velez's work with wonderfully written text by Pierre Frey who describes Simon Velez and his architecture poignantly. While Simon Velez does not have an official monograph to date, I would say this is the closet thing to it! It is really a beautiful book with a beautiful layout. The photographs, and architecture, are truly stunning!

If you want to get a few ideas of how to construct with bamboo, this book is NOT for you. It is only a coffee table book with pictures of some bamboo buildings.

Le lire est très bien,

Excelente el libro, muy interesante el trabajo del Arquitecto Velez y se agradecen enormemente los detalles constructivos que se muestran.

Très bon ouvrage . Pas de chronologie précise mais bien illustré avec exemples concrets. De nombreux éléments techniques avec photos remarquables
