Bamboo Scaffolding in Shanghai
To allow easy access to the building's facade, workers constructed this six-story scaffolding entirely out of bamboo. Even the joints where the lengths of bamboo meet are made by tying thin strips of bamboo tightly around each of the poles. As you'll notice in teh video below (for those not in China at least) the structure just balances on the ground with foundation whatsoever. Needless to say it's extremely precarious.
The same scaffolding structure seen from the inside, with a bit of Shanghai's futuristic skyline visible in the distance.
