The chinese team from tongji university has designed and built 'bamboo house' (aka sunshine inn) as their official entry into the first european solar decathlon in madrid. made primarily out of bamboo, the house minimizes CO2 emission levels throughout the whole production phase. the raw material is also locally cultivated and has a very short and efficient renewable cycle of 5 years.

In order to build the house quickly on site, the team pre-fabricated the majority of the house and prepared the material before shipping to madrid. here are some construction images from the villa solar and the pre-build stage:
