The Use of Bamboo in Sustainable Social Housing,With Special Reference to Brasilia,Brazil

Sustainable thinking has been gaining more and more space in society,making it extremely valuable for today”s professionals.In the field of architecture,one of the most prominent materials in the ”green” world is bamboo,a plant that has remarkable qualities,from its ease of planting to the diverse variety of usage options.However,there are still very few study materials on this plant in Brazil,which complicates its application in the country”s civil construction.The research in question seeks to expand studies on bamboo,with special reference to the capital city of Brasilia.Furthermore,due to the great housing demand,focus will be on social housing.With the data collected in the first parts of the work,a social housing project was elaborated with the use of bamboo in areas that would function more effectively.At the end of the research it was observed that although the climate and soil of Brasília are not originally ideal for the plant,with due treatment it adapts quite easily to the city.However,the scarcity of norms to regulate their use and the lack of professionals trained to work with bamboo,together with the lack of regularization of their stalks,hinder their application in construction.Although it is a material of great potential,it is a challenge to change the construction mentality of the present,overcoming the prejudice of building with a non-traditional material,as is bamboo.For the dissemination of its use it is also necessary to deepen in related studies,providing better ways of working with it,besides the population”s awareness about the importance of sustainable architecture.
