Pandal's are large tent like structures that are recreations of popular buildings, usually temples, built in wood and cloth over a bamboo super-structure. Traditionally they are built for Durga Puja, a festival in the month of October in parts of Eastern India. Today these structures have become expressions of a broader popular culture where themes both religious and non-religious are played out. Building on research on Pandal's this study contends that, with certain modifications, bamboo could be used to construct cost-effective, large span, temporary structures in Urban South Asia. It is also contented that the abundance and availability of bamboo has, to an extent, worked against its intelligent use. Any degree of structural innovation is deemed unnecessary as it is not considered commensurate with its cheap availability. Here the material is valued for its qualities and is not premised on its obvious use and expendability.

This thesis focuses on ecological living through the use of bamboo. It explores how the material can be used for methods of prefabricated housing design within the United States. It also uses a "ht of parts" and describes two examples that exemplify good use of bamboo. While bamboo is increasingly being used as a source of material in many applications, including elements such as flooring, decorative elements, and even semi conductors, it has not been used as a structural material in the United States, where most built projects are created using a wood frame structure. Bamboo has several advantages as a green machine that can positively influence our lives. Some of these advantages include its high strength to weight ratio which is comparable to that of steel and wood. Bamboo's short duration allows for renewable architecture to turn over more rapidly. New technologies have overcome previous problems such as the susceptibility to termite attacks and weaknesses in joint connections. This thesis intends to revise the idea of ecological living in the United States that integrates bamboo into housing construction. There are three main parts in this thesis: the first is to explore the aesthetics of bamboo structures. The second will take a look at the workings of joinery systems that appeal to the U.S. market. By synthesizing all my findings from the research literature, a city dwelling habitat would be designed through the use of a "kit of parts" innovation.

The thesis was inspired by the excellent mechanical properties of bamboo and its positive environmental effects. Despite its abundance and great qualities, the material has not been incorporated into the history of standard light frame wood construction and is therefore not used to its full potential, especially in regions of economic constraint in greatest need of housing structures. Can we design a light-frame construction system that allows for the non-standard nature of bamboo members and is inspired by the unique properties of the material? Can we reveal its contemporary uses and therefore allow for its cultural acceptance? The research investigates how a grid of members behaves as a system - incorporating imperfections and variations of individual elements. Along with the structural exploration, the work addresses the cultural misconception of bamboo as the "poor man's lumber" The exercises are aimed towards creating a housing unit that incorporates available materials into contemporary design elements.

Full textNa era de grande progresso tecnológico em que vivemos e que assume um papel importante nas nossas vidas, torna-se quase impensável regressar às formas rudimentares de construir. A Arquitectura vernacular assume-se, aos olhos dos entusiastas do progresso, como um método retrógrado de criar habitação, que nos transporta a um passado nostálgico, carregado de elementos obsoletos. No entanto, esquecemo-nos de que estes métodos vernaculares são uma forma de combater problemas ambientais catastróficos que assolam o planeta, bem como de solucionar a actual crise habitacional e de carência económica; trata-se da forma mais simples de satisfazer as necessidades habitacionais mais básicas. Assim, tomemos como ponto de partida o bambú como material emergente e em abundância na China, onde já possui um grande passado histórico, para desenvolver o presente estudo. Apesar de ser um material quase esquecido, devido ao fraco desenvolvimento da tecnologia a ele associado, possui um carácter bastante ecológico, resistente e versátil, tratando-se da planta de mais rápido crescimento no planeta. Desde que há registo que tem sido aplicado nas mais diversas construções, com uma vasta aplicabilidade, do pavimento à estrutura. Com esta investigação procura-se, portanto, fazer uma aproximação entre Oriente e Ocidente, através do estudo de um material ecológico e de grande poder estético, capaz de se proliferar em ambientes diversos, já que cada vez mais procuramos alternativas e métodos de construção sustentáveis, com base em materiais que a Natureza nos disponibiliza, de forma a minimizar o impacto ambiental. Numa última parte, ao percebermos como o bambú é aplicado e de que forma pode ser melhorado para corresponder às exigências do contexto Europeu, mais concretamente de Portugal, o material recolhido culminará no desenvolvimento de um protótipo habitacional sustentável, que parte do bambú enquanto material base para a sua estruturação. Será interessante contornar as fraquezas do bambú face às características do clima mediterrânico de Portugal Continental, mediante a sua conjugação com outro material igualmente sustentável: a terra crua
ABSTRACT: In an era of great technological progress, which we live and plays an important role in our lives, it is almost unthinkable to return to the rudimentary forms of building. The vernacular architecture is assumed, in the eyes of progress enthusiasts, as a retrograde method of creating shelter, which leads us to a nostalgic past, loaded with obsolete elements. However, we forget that these vernacular methods are a way to fight catastrophic environmental problems facing the planet, and to solve the current housing crisis and economic hardship; it is the simplest way to meet the most basic housing needs. So, let us take bamboo as an emerging and abundant material in China as a starting point, where it already has a great historical past, to develop this study. Despite being an almost forgotten material, due to the weak development of the technology associated with it, it has a very eco-friendly, durable and versatile character, as it is the fastest growing plant on the planet. Since it is known, bamboo has been applied in several buildings, with a wide applicability, from the pavement till the structure. This investigation seeks to make a rapprochement between East and West, through the study of a material with an ecological and great aesthetic power, able to proliferate in many environments, as we increasingly seek for alternative and sustainable construction methods, based on materials available in nature, to minimize environmental impact. In a last part, when we realize how bamboo is used and how it can be improved to match the European context requirements, specifically in Portugal, the collected data will culminate in the development of a sustainable housing prototype, that takes bamboo as the material base for structuring. It will be interesting to contour the bamboo weaknesses, due to the characteristics of our Mediterranean climate of Continental Portugal, through the conjugation of it with an equally sustainable material: raw land.

Full textThe current discourse about terms like \"sustainable development\" and \"sustainability\" is usually directly assigned to a \"green\" thinking, developed independently from the social reality involved. However, to maintain a sustainable society it is necessary to rescue the concept of quality of life of societies. Thus, there is a demand of developing possible ways of sustainable organizations, based on historical, cultural and in the relation between the citizens and nature. Before those questions, the production of architecture tends to be an object of observation to define which position would prove more coherence with such precepts. The demand for an architecture of low social and environmental impact can be connected to a proper articulation between new technologies and existing building traditions, as the concept of technological pluralism. Given the social and environmental scenario of the Vale do Ribeira, SP, it is necessary to think about constructive cultures that can guarantee a community relations approach, the involvement of the user / producer with the construction process, the formation of a manpower and the consequent empowerment of local communities. Bamboo is an easy to maintain agricultural culture in the natural environment in the Vale do Ribeira, one of the main regions of its cultivation in the State of São Paulo. It is a plant with great potential for environmental regeneration and high production yield. In material elaboration for construction, its production process enables a broad domain by the user, setting an important vehicle for engaging social inclusion projects, providing education, training, employment and income generation. The research aims to elucidate and develop possibilities for bamboo construction systems that responds to economic, environmental and social issues from the universe of regarding caiçaras and riverside communities in Vale do Ribeira. The research, aimed at issues such as the development of a autonomous building process and the appreciation of the subject-author of your own space, contributes to a contextual development with legitimate roots, integrated into local way of life and culture, which represents the only way of bringing in the incursion of new technologies, a social and environmentally sustainable.

Procura-se perceber e propor uma arquitectura que possa responder de forma eficaz perante uma situação de grande carência socioeconómica e equacionar como a arquitectura poderá tornar-se uma ferramenta ágil e capaz de ajudar a resolver os problemas básicos da condição humana no domínio da habitação, de forma sustentável e com economia de recursos. Pretende-se assim, estudar como a arquitectura pode melhorar a qualidade de vida das pessoas quando estas são confrontadas com situações de precariedade. Procura-se avaliar as condições do local destinado a esta proposta - o Gana, e equacionar soluções de intervenção que minimizem a crise habitacional vivida neste país. O presente relatório de projecto final no contexto da arquitectura e desenvolvimento social, inicia-se com a participação no Concurso OS House – Open Source House Design Competition e incide no Caso de Estudo do Gana, partindo da análise das condições de vida da população pertencente à classe média emergente deste país no objectivo de elaborar uma proposta de habitação. Com este estudo, pretendem-se lançar contributos para um debate quanto à problemática da habitação e do respectivo projecto de arquitectura num contexto em vias de desenvolvimento. Parafraseando Cameron Sinclair, acredito que “onde os recursos e competência técnica forem escassos, o projecto inovador e sustentável pode fazer diferença na vida das pessoas” e contornar o problema social da habitação sentido em alguns países do mundo, bem como a crise habitacional que se sente actualmente no Gana.
The purpose of this study is to develop an architectural project proposal for a dwelling that meets the basic human conditions within the Contest OS House - Open Source House Design Competition, according to a sustainable concept. We seek to understand and propose an architecture that may effectively respond to a situation of high socio-economic deprivation, and consider how architecture can become a flexible tool to help solving basic problems of human condition in the field of housing, in a sustainable and resource-saving manner. Thus, the aim is to study how architecture can improve people’s quality of life whenever they confront precarious situations. We aim to assess the conditions of the site for this proposal - Ghana, considering intervention solutions that can minimize house living crisis in this country. This final Master Degree project, presenting a proposal for housing in the context of architecture and social development, begins by participating in the Contest OS House - Open Source House Design Competition, focuses on the Case Study of Ghana and is based on an analysis of living conditions of the population that belongs to the emerging middle class of the country. With this study, I intend to launch a contribution to a debate about issues of housing and its architectural design in the contingency context and economic fragility. To paraphrase Cameron Sinclair, we believe that “where resources and expertise are scarce, the innovative and sustainable design may make the difference in peoples lives”, and help to minimize the social housing problem in some countries in the world, as well as the housing crisis that actually affects Ghana.

This document addresses East Africa's need for safe, sustainable, and affordable housing and promotes use of bamboo as a structural material by providing adequate information and resources to evaluate the strength of bamboo. East African housing is a leading issue for the region because of the population growth, specifically in urban areas where housing resources and infrastructure cannot match the population growth. The solution may be bamboo housing as an alternative to urban slums. The bamboo species Oxytenanthera abyssinica is available throughout East Africa region and has been accepted and implemented in traditional housing throughout the region. This document references the resources provided by the International Code Council (ICC), International Organization for Standardizations (ISO), and International Network for Bamboo and Rattan (INBAR) for the use of bamboo as a structural material in buildings. This paper also discusses the mechanical strength of bamboo, and the structural behavior of bamboo in buildings. In addition, bamboo construction shows the tools, connections, and preservatives used in the field. The design example, using Oxytenanthera abyssinica, provides the traditional layout and materials for an Amhara house, and calculations show the practicality of bamboo in structural design. This document has led to recommendations for engineers and the bamboo industry, including the development of a codebook for bamboo design, promoting bamboo farms and plantations, creating a uniform connection, and increasing bamboo's service life. From research, bamboo is in need of further development before being considered a viable structural material to provide for commercial use but would suffice for the housing shortage in East Africa.

Full textThe consumption of restored wood boards has increased, bringing along the use of woods derived from reforestation, traditionally from Pinus and Eucalyptus, composed of long and short fibers respectively, which demand the enlargement and replacement of the plantation areas quickly. In this essay, the main objective was to measure the potential application of the bamboo as an alternative to make boards of Oriented Strand Board – OSB. The kind of bamboo studied was the Dendrocalamus giganteus, which is made of medium strands. Boards were produced with 4, 6 and 8% contents of phenol-formaldehyde resin. The experimental work was divided in two stages. The purpose of the first stage was to study the variation of density and the relative highness of the bamboo studied, in order to separate particles with different characteristics, and proceed the selection of the stem part with density more similar to the one indicated by MALONEY, with the purpose of making boards with similar characteristics to Pinus OSB boards, using the same production technique. On the second stage, experimental planning was applied to obtain bamboo boards of particles with two slit orientation and three numbers of adhesive. The physical and mechanical tests were performed according to the European patterns EN 300/93 and American patterns ASTM 1037-1996. The results indicated that the boards made in bamboo at the tangential direction at 6% of resin is the most appropriate to produce on a large scale, considering that its yield and mechanical behavior is comparable to commercial OSB, in agreement to quoted patterns.

Full textLignocellulosic residues are the most abundant agri-bussiness product in the agricultural sector, therefore, it has been proposed for use in various applications of these composites. The aim of this paper is to explore the potential of using sheath bamboo leaf (SBL) and the petiole leaf palm (PLP), for the production of decorative laminates, in order to be used in coatings inside buildings. Characterization of SBL and PLP unprocessed was performed, then a prototype process manufacturing and finally characterization laminate coating obtained was performed. The results show that the thermodynamic behavior of SBL and PLP in the lamination process should not exceed ~ 135 °C. The physico-chemical analysis shows that the porosity and the presence of mineral on SBL are greater than PHP. In the accelerated aging by CUV method, it was determined that SBL are suseptible to color change on the surface. The SBL necessarily have to go through the process of grinding prior to lamination. In the lamination process, it was determined that the use of kraft paper impregnated substrate is most suitable for preserving the aesthetics of the surface of both residues. According to the topography of the surface, we can say that the patterns of roughness decrease with respect to the lamination process, on SBL change from 0,017mm to 0,008mm and 0,015mm to 0,027mm in the outer and inner surface, respectively; PLP roughness change from 0.076 to 0.016 and 0,106mm to 0,029mm. Although the profile (y) increased ripple is observed at the SLB. After the lamination process the porosity decreases in both waste and water absorption values decrease on SLB 7.25% and 1.33% increase in the PLP. We concluded that both surfaces are suitable for use in coatings.

Full textThis thesis relates on the development of a precasted concrete floor intended for the urban habitat of Hanoi and more particularly to the prefabrication of a concrete beam reinforced with bamboo. A part of this research was carried out jointly with Mr. Dany Blackburn which was interested to low cost housing and gas concrete slabs. Initially, our work consisted in drawing up the portrait of the local construction market to seize the principal realities and stakes of them. The observations carried out on the ground at summer 2002 are thus presented in the first part of this thesis. In the second part, a recension of writings gives a progress report on the current state of the most recent publications on the bamboo reinforced concrete technology. With the information collected on the ground and listed in the literature, the principal objective of this thesis was carried out: the prefabrication of a concrete beam reinforced with bamboo. The third part of research exposes the methodology used during the experiments. Finally, a real size prototype of the prefabricated floor system was assembled. The model is composed of 3 concrete beams reinforced with bamboo and 10 gas concrete slabs produced by Dany Blackburn within its report. Mechanical tests were then carried out to measure the structural effectiveness of the concrete beams reinforced with bamboo and of the prefabricated floor system. The results presented in the last part of this thesis show that the bamboo as concrete reinforcement in the prefabrication of beams are an interesting alternative and can be used effectively for the residential construction of Hanoi.

Full textEarth construction is becoming a popular topic in Western architecture, yet in the context of traditional Malian construction techniques earth has largely been abandoned. This paradox asks us to turn our attention to the reality on the ground in West Africa, in order to understand the implications of using earth as a building material, especially on an urban scale. Today the earthen city is essentially synonymous with cultural heritage, but there is one place where it is alive and well— informal urbanization. This sector is stimulated by the necessities of survival, which generate remarkable spatial dynamics. From this general observation, this study was narrowed to a small informal fishing district in the city of Bamako. The ultimate purpose of this research is to highlight an urban logic buried and hidden in informal space. This work consists in writing a theory of informal urbanization that is contextually and culturally specific, according to a "bottom-up" principle. The narrator takes advantage of the peculiar perspective of the traveler in order to shed light on more universal questions. Indeed, the position of the stranger allows us to see the reality of informal spaces in a new light. The act of writing makes explicit certain processes that animate the site; it develops a "point of view" that fundamentally changes urban representations. Lessons learned as well as derived from the field pave the way for certain vernacular principles to be reused on site. At the same time, such a vernacular theory allows us to transfer these principles to other sites by means of deterritorialization

Full textProjektet “Wastescape of Bhubaneswar & Cuttack” är en studie av ett nätverk av skräpflöden genom Bhubaneswar och Cuttack i Odisha, Indien. Studien inkorporerar viktiga platser, t.ex. deponier, urbana ödemarker och lokaler för skräphandel; stora aktörer i den formella och informella skräpsektorn; och flöden av skräp genom ekonomiska och sociala system. Utifrån dessa studier, ett flertal interventioner i “the wastescape” föreslås för att förbättra den ekonomiska, ekologiska och sociala situationen. En viktig aspekt av arbetet är utvecklingen av ett sätt att, som arkitekt, arbeta med storskaliga, komplexa och inter-beroende nätverk; hur sådana system kan kartläggas och förstås; samt hur det går att avgöra vart och hur interventioner passar in i “the wastescape”. För att förbättra “the wastescape”, interventioner måste medvetet och holistiskt adressera multipla skalor; nivåer av formell-informell; och faser i skräpets kretslopp. Studien innehåller ett stort nummer av möjliga interventioner. Några av dessa interventioner är ytterligare detaljerade för att visa på genomförbarhet; påverkan på “the wastescape”; och synergier gentemot andra interventioner i “the wastescape”.

Full textThe point of departure of this thesis research is the environment worries which are currently faced by the architects. The shift in priorities to the environment may be followed in the modern architecture of Paris, in the city where there are the most innovative, the most typical tendencies of the current time. The task of the research is to follow this evolution and two parks recently appeared in Paris: Park de la Villette by Bernard Tschumi and the park of André Citroën created by Gilles Clément are taken as the object of this analysis. The choice of the object is explained as follows: these two objects are derived from the diametrically opposed architectural approaches and at the same time they are very revealing for the architecture of its decade. Being focused on the architecture, the research has also interdisciplinary element. This work puts the objects of the analysis in their French and international cultural context. The research sets up parallels between the modern architecture and phenomenon from literature (fragmentary method of writing), philosophy (theory of fragments) and modern art

Full textIn developing countries, the growing importance of urbanization is bringing housing closer to transport infrastructure (airports, air terminals). Beside these observations, the difficult conditions of access to energy resources and the construction techniques inadequacy with the climate and the environment must enable tropical countries to move towards lasting potential construction techniques and use (passive, bioclimatic concepts) in order to guarantee the comfort (acoustic, thermal) of the inhabitants within the buildings. The sustainable construction potential, poorly explored, is very important in these countries. In the face of these challenges, the lasting buildings concept is one of the best alternatives for weaving harmony between the building and its environment. Lasting construction techniques go through a perfect knowledge of the site, the local climate and the inhabitants needs of comfort (acoustic, thermal). As part of our contribution to these issues, a risk assessment study and risk factors for building performance are initiated. However, most of the literature works focuses on the analytical approaches use that are sometimes insufficient, in the absence of taking into account practical realities. An analysis and assessment of risk performance methodology in buildings based on the capitalization and knowledge exploitation approach from return experience processes is developed. Two test buildings (an airport building and a F3B type residential building) are chosen in Bamako in order to apply the evaluation method with experts’ assistance, building technicians and users. For the first building, the assessment is relative to acoustic performance risks in the airport context while for the second; it relative to energy performance risks in the bioclimatic context. The effort focuses on the identification of non-qualities and the discomfort factors whose resolution contributes to improving the building acoustic, energy and environmental performance. To do this, field visits (surveys with building users and interviews with construction stakeholders) were conducted to identify on the one hand the residents’ needs and behavior and on the other hand, the construction actors’ techniques and practical knowledge. Questionnaire forms as well as measuring sensors in-situ (thermometers, hygrometers and sound level meter) and data processing software are used as tools for the performance risks assessment on test buildings. Investigations in the form of in-situ measurements, parameters (temperature, humidity and sound pressure levels) respectively inside and outside the airport and residential building type F3B are carried out with these sensors. These data are then treated with data processing software to integrate lasting construction knowledge and strategies. The capitalization of the information from these studies serves as experience feedback through corrective solutions propositions and good practices for the performance problems resolution (pathologies, damages, and others dysfunctions) observed on buildings

To date, due to the limitation of constructional materials in Taiwan, most of the materials depend on import. Actually, bamboo is recyclable and is the characteristic and abundant constructional materials in Taiwan. Recently, the whole world tends to follow the concept of environmental protection - using bamboo instead of wood. Sev-eral countries among Europe and America have been developing bamboo related manufacture technique. In Taiwan, most of the traditional bamboo tubal construction walls are “weave wall”. The anti-seismic of weave wall is less lasting than the wall construction of weave bamboo and dirt in Japan. This research uses the technique of the wall construction of weave bamboo and dirt to develop the modular construction wall. In addition, we designed the new technique of bamboo tubal joint and connec-tional unit and improved the building mode of traditional bamboo architecture and related design. The results can shorten build time and advance convenient. Also, the outcome decreases the cost of construction and provided for apply to stage decora-tions and bamboo architectures. Our experiment of modular construction wall based on interview masters and re-view related reference to figure out the sizes and modules of constructional wall and simulate on computers. The modular construction walls which based on functions can be categorized into two types; one modular is load-bearing wall, the other is light par-tition wall. We adopted makino and moso bamboo for material of new tubal joint. The out-radius of bamboo tubes are 6.5cm, and 8cm. After selecting, cutting, experiment, and assembling, we make sure those bamboo tubes can apply to the frame. Theoreti-cally, the joints are multidirectional and suit for different types of frames and con-structions. We aim to improve the construction of bamboo architectures and related facilities, increase the level of convenient of constructions, and speed up assembling.

With a result of the global warming and climate anomalies, the natural disasters appear frequently. To save the earth and provide it with sustainable development, the human are actively seeking for solutions, including energy-saving and carbon emissions reduction, energy substitution, environmental-friendly green consumption, green architecture promotion, carbon emission control and greenhouse gas emission control, etc. The bamboos grow quickly, generally they can be harvested and utilized after 3~4 years. While a tree takes 30 to 50 years or even more than one hundred to become a timber, therefore, the bamboos are far better than timber in the aspect of carbon. Taiwan is rich in bamboos which are natural and clean resources. They are able to reduce and seal up the carbon, and they are inexhaustible and endless natural resources, green and environmental building materials and good materials for global sustainable development. In this study, some literatures are collected, organized, and analyzed to explore the use situation and technical progress of worldwide bamboos. The SWOT is adopted to analyze the domestic bamboo industry to predict its possible development potential in the future. Meanwhile, some successful examples in foreign and domestic bamboo industries prove that the bamboo application in Taiwan in the future will never be confined to only present crafts and unpopular commercial goods. This study shows that bamboos are not only suitable for furniture and decorative crafts as a tradition, but also for the building material such as bamboo cement board, artificial bamboo board, and bamboo structure house, etc. Bamboo structure especially has such characteristics as lightweight, high strength, good anti-seismic property, local material, easy processing, and simple construction. However, there are still some key technologies to be overcome such as fire prevention, moisture protection, and corrosion prevention.
