The country of Bangladesh faces a huge problem in the housing situation. There is a substantial lack of housing, particularly qualitative housing that is adequate according to both material and immaterial needs of the population. The role of bamboo in house construction has been substantial everywhere it grows naturally, including in Bangladesh, where over 70% of housing is made from bamboo. However, the technologies, originating from family tradition, are still very basic and temporary. Bamboo has many advantages though which has been the reason for other countries to invest in research on improving bamboo construction technology for housing. Making use of these experiences gained in other countries and introducing new, more durable and sustainable, bamboo technologies in Bangladesh may very well contribute to a solution of the housing problem in the country.
