# Vaulted Bamboo Pavilions This Conference Hall is Made from Two Kinds of Locally Sourced Bamboo By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2015-10-22 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sourced-bamboo References: [treehugger](http://www.treehugger.com/green-architecture/naman-retreat-built-2-types-bamboo-vo-trong-nghia.html) & [namanretreat](http://www.namanretreat.com/en/) Vietnamese architect Vo Trong Nghia recently designed a stunning conference hall that is made out of two different kinds of locally sourced bamboo. Not only is bamboo a fast-growing renewable resource, it is also an extremely strong and long-lasting building material. This building uses bamboo to create a visually stunning experience for guests. The [bamboo conference hall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juna) is part of the Naman Retreat Resort, which is located in the port city of Da Nang. Although the floor plan is fairly simple, the [vaulted ceilings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-ocean-dome) serve as a stunning focal point. The ceilings are made from locally sourced bamboo, which is woven into an asymmetrically pattern. The strategic lighting inside the hall further enhances the space by making the room feel bright and airy. Not only is the conference hall visually stunning, but the use of bamboo makes the space more energy efficient than other available options. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Eco Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/ecoarchitecture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Renewable Building Materials:** The use of bamboo in construction offers a renewable and sustainable alternative to traditional building materials. - **Visual Impact Architecture:** Architectural designs that prioritize visually stunning elements, such as vaulted bamboo ceilings, create a memorable experience for visitors. - **Energy Efficient Spaces:** The use of bamboo in building construction can contribute to making spaces more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture and Design:** Architects and designers can explore the use of bamboo in their projects to create visually striking and sustainable structures. - **Hospitality and Tourism:** Hotels, resorts, and conference venues can incorporate bamboo construction to provide unique and visually appealing spaces for guests. - **Green Building and Construction:** The green building industry can embrace the use of renewable materials like bamboo to create eco-friendly structures and reduce carbon footprint. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bamboo Forest Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-rainforest-pavilion.md) - [Forest Bamboo Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bamboo-cabin.md) - [Local Craft-Shown Bamboo Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/northeast-pavilion.md) - [Bamboo Luxe Pool Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/godai-pavilion.md) - [Vaulted Bamboo Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juliet-center.md) - [Mandala-Shaped Meditation Halls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mahamudra-meditation-centre.md) - [Circular Bamboo Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juna.md) - [Bamboo Screen-Wrapped Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nh-t-garden-restaurant.md) - [Glowing Bamboo Lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paardarshi.md)
