Architectural characteristics of bamboo architecture in Southeast Asia

Features of Bamboo Building in Southeast Asia: The architectural style of Southeast Asian residential buildings is very unique, elegant and beautiful. Bamboo buildings with two or more floors are generally bamboo buildings or wooden buildings. The lower floor can be used for storing sundries or raising livestock, and the upper floor can be used for people, ventilation, heat dissipation and moisture prevention.

This architectural structure is due to the fact that Southeast Asia has a tropical rain forest climate, tropical monsoon climate, high temperature and rainy weather, dense forests and abundant bamboo and wood resources.

The roof is layered, sometimes up to nine or ten stories. At the eaves, there are curly snakes. On the eaves, there are rows of willow decorations.
