Structural Research..

If I am going to have a bamboo roof i've realised that i'm not certain on how it will be put together, so i did a bit of research into understanding the joins and roofing system itself so i could do a couple details.

(Ecoarc n.d) 

How will the rof stay up structurally?

It will have a structural system something like this one, with triangled shapes to hold up the roof.

Walls and other structure
I just wanted to confirm the structure of my hempcrete wall so i could understand what i was working with as well. It's just like any other material, my bamboo structure will support the house and it will be infilled with the hempcrete mixture until it sets.
