Item Restricted Bamboo as Protagonist for Primary and Secondary Construction Material(2022) Laura Constanza Cuellar Beltran; Fischer, Jeanne-Françoise; Starck, Adrian von; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This research explores the use of bamboo as a construction material in contemporary architecture, with a focus on native Colombian bamboo building techniques. It aims to highlight the cultural significance and beauty of bamboo while reimagining its application in modern designs. The study delves into the historical methods of bamboo construction, such as Bahareque, and examines how this material has shaped the Quindio Region. By analyzing literature and studying examples of architects who have successfully integrated bamboo into their designs, the research aims to provide insights and inspiration for using bamboo in both structural and interior design contexts. The study seeks to answer the questions of how traditional bamboo techniques can be applied in contemporary architecture and how the cultural significance of bamboo can be reaffirmed. Through an exploration of bamboo's historical use and its potential in modern design, this research contributes to promoting sustainable and culturally significant architectural practices.
