Abstract:
|
The civil construction process causes several impacts to the environment due to the excessive use of
non-renewable materials and the waste generated throughout its life cycle. Therefore, solutions with
sustainable materials are being increasingly demanded. Bamboo can be a great material for
construction, but in Brazil there is not much information about its use in homes. To demonstrate its
potential as a building material, this work has as main objective to develop the design of a house using
mixed bamboo systems in the city of Florianopolis, Santa Catarina. First, the bamboo species was
selected based on a bibliographic survey and a questionnaire with companies in Florianopolis. Also,
guidelines for the project were defined based on bibliographic surveys on the specificities of bamboo.
And, finally, based on the needs program, the architectural design of the house was elaborated using
Revit and Autocad software. |
