The article is devoted to brief historical excerpts about the types of adaptability of architectural objects based on structures using bamboo. The main methods of forming adaptive architecture on flooded territories, on water spaces and on the ground surface in forests on supports are considered. The traditional experience of building an object with a clay basement of the Paetses Indians is studied to protect the building and property of residents from rising groundwater during prolonged rains. Architectural objects are adapted to local natural and climatic conditions using local renewable natural materials. For countries with a hot-humid climate, bamboo trunks are the main quick-renewable and easy processed material. The durability and strength of this material allow to reliably place various buildings and structures in the flooded and coastal areas. The structural elements of these objects have retained their operational qualities for many years. The coastal territories attracted the ancient settlers with rich coastal vegetation, the diversity of the animal world and the ease of hunting and fishing, as well as the ability to use water for technical and hygienic needs. These factors serve as the main reason for choosing construction sites in areas with adverse climatic conditions.
