Abstract
Bamboo has been used worldwide long before the discovery of modern construction techniques and materials. Nevertheless, its use has remained as a handcrafted practice, with regionalized methodologies and construction techniques. The research group at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México-UNAM has successfully characterized the mechanical properties of three different species of Mexican-grown bamboo: Oldhami, Guadua Angustifolia and Phyllostachys bambusoides, as well as started the development of research projects for the analysis and design of lightweight structures with bamboo [1, 2]. Translating the results into practice, UNAM and University College London-UCL are working on a joint research project with the goal of developing an international design protocol for bamboo (whole culms) structures based on the principles of Building Information Modeling-BIM; expecting to develop the relevant scripts for geometric 3D modeling, structural analysis and robotic fabrication. The project’s preliminary results are presented in this paper.
