longer to die enjoy your circuit case I
tell you all little church on why no
turning on the Milan Hong Kong a jungle
of steel and concrete here over 9000
skyscrapers are crammed together and
it's considered one of the most densely
populated areas in the world but look
closely and you'll see inorganic
material that weaves itself through the
cracks of the walls completely engulfing
entire structures
this is bamboo and Hong Kong is one of
the last places in the world where
bamboo is still widely used as a
building material and these guys well
they've built this whole thing from the
ground up oh yeah your video oh yeah
Sam's oil company in Santa Clara Jahjaga
were looking at I'm I'm on top one
together
well most scaffolding around the world
is made with aluminum or steel Hong Kong
is one of the last places where bamboo
is still widely used Western the
building's maybe the scaffolding is
decidedly east of them its bamboo only
affects in the price of steel all grown
locally and to be had practically for
the asking
it has been a common construction
material for centuries in China but due
to safety concerns the art of bamboo
building is mostly gone even in mainland
China but it remains a viable yet
threatened industry in Hong Kong where
scaffolding structures can soar up to 60
stories high well go I hate hydrophones
it don't tell you I love cherry laminate
iodate the mighty me check oh you like
why I hire - holy ego I would check are
you going out on a single told or the
car buys so on subject Pacheco come the
quality of people acquire happiness
autumn/winter tip-top collect Australia
do Sonia you gotta tie koala could sound
like go Appa as I will do in that need
for precision is partially why bamboo
scaffolding has largely disappeared
outside of Hong Kong unlike steel which
can be cut into precise pieces bamboo is
a plant and is much more fickle not all
pieces are consistent in quality and
they have to be manually tied together
which requires a lot of skill you see
what is upon us y'all don't publish love
hey Yoon ha this young woman type diet
to see foolish young no longer see all
that go pop unless I will leave anyway
learn what they get humo write a comment
that will be unlike Hindi but bamboo has
its benefits as well first it's a
sustainable material it is the fastest
growing plant on earth it can grow up to
three feet a day and because it
reproduces the rhizomes which are
underground roots it can self multiply
which means that a grove of bamboo can
technically grow and grow for up to a
hundred years second compared to steel
bamboo is a much lighter material it's
six times faster to put up and twelve
times faster to take down it's also
cheaper and if properly installed
bamboo is stronger than steel and far
more flexible
[Music]
don't worry Chinese bamboo if first off
it is the ideal material for temporary
structures and in Hong Kong it is also
used to build seasonal opera theatres
which pop up every spring
[Music]
but unlike scaffolding which can be
found everywhere all year round these
theatres are limited to small villages
in Hong Kong where there is more space
we went to Cheung Chau an island in Hong
Kong and met one of the last remaining
bamboo theatre artisans
he says compared as scaffolding Peters
are much more difficult to build the how
you talk you don't have called him more
cement Anupam why some comedy bang
captain Sifu hey Pancho geodesic dome
haha so talkative arm holding high
looking at you made a yeah
Chan's family has been building with
bamboo for generations
oh hey from sometimes I partied at the
home auto dolly Honda's I would have
thought if I'd say something Ella
calculations for the theatres are done
on the spot you wanna protect her ignore
that you've had the package and I ignore
the jumbo coca-cola
the tamposi generic Udo technical at all
or the halitosis owners of Instagram Joe
so what are the main components of the
bamboo theater these wooden beams which
are made from fir trees provide the main
support for the theater bamboo makes up
the majority of the structure there are
two main types of bamboo that are used
I don't need a coat of type and acidic

community stabbed in Ottawa all right so
fine I gotta make a call Boadicea Sango
have actually came up with a quarter Tom
here that Americana talk but
what's tied together will eventually be
taken down when the Opera season is over
the theater is dismantled and the parts
are recycled bamboo theatres are
temporary installations and an art form
that is fading
