Then answer the questions that follow. FIGURE A: Bamboo homes designed by H&P Architects in Vietnam These affordable homes are made from sustainable local bamboo. Severe flooding is prevalent in Southeast Asia by rising and falling incoming waters. Therefore the thatched homes are built on platforms made from reused oil drums and kept in place on anchors, allowing the structures to float in place during flood season. On the roof triangular cut-outs open up in every direction, creating natural cross breezes and shade. Horizontal doors on either side of the house also open up, creating miniature patios and sunshade awnings. When turbulent weather comes, however, these pieces can all be closed up, protecting the residents inside. The homes have suspended bamboo planters alongside their outside walls, which create vertical gardens for food, with rainwater harvesting systems in place. Copyright reserved Please turn over
