When it comes to uses of bamboo, many think of chopsticks, panda food or patio furniture. Simon Velez, on the other hand, envisions bus stations, churches or bridges. Bamboo will be the main material in a Cali bus station to be built next year.

Hangzavar / Cacophony
Thrifty-appearing wall-mounted sound installation features five cassette walkmans, simple speakers, and is designed to play one tape together at different intervals, together.
From Everyday Listening:
Recycling of old machines is good. But we all have iPods now, so what do we do with our old Sony walkmans? Chain them together using tape to create a great looking sound installation!
Hangzavar / Cacophony is a creation of Hungarian collective Nomad, consisting of Pásztor Bence, Pongor Soma and Tarcali Dávid. Check out their website for more information on their work.
To experience what it sounds like, Everyday Listening has a video of the piece, which you can see here
