BAMBOO SHOOT

We take the bamboo shoot and bamboo leaf as an inspiration for designing some parts of the building such as stair railing and handrail. Since bamboo shoot represents youth or next generation, thus we make this design to alert the user of the building who are the students to remain them to be a good person in the family, school society ( shoot Good and Bamboo Shoot).

Like Elderly people once said“ We take and the bamboo bamboo leaf as Khmer an inspiration for designing some ទំ � ំ ង ស� ង ឫស� � ី ( BOOM SHOOT GROWS UP TO BE BAMBOO )”. parts of the building such as stair railing and handrail. Since bamboo shoot represents youth or next generation, thus we make this design to alert the user of the building who are the students to remain them to be a good person in the family, school and society ( Good Bamboo Shoot).
