Nature builds structures that evolve, self maintain, and eventually return to a natural state. Humans build in a few different ways, creating structures that will act as models of the desired goals, often with little regard for the impact of nature during the structures lifetime much less when its functionality has ended. Recently there have been projects and theoretical discussion on combining the human way of building and biological way of growing. One such project is presented here, titled "Growing Home". Growing Home is a structure built from living bamboo, designed for stateless persons and refugee populations. Research has concluded that while numerous projects seek to combine growing elements within built structures, few structures have been created for stateless populations. An initial, experimental sample of Bhutanese refugees who have been living in Nepal since the early 1990s has been chosen as a target population.
