Bamboo Institute in Brazil completes social housing project - 40m2 home for $1500 - A great accompli
Translation of Raphael Vasconcellos post to bambu-brasil:
Acting as a representative of INBAMBU, Édson Sartori (engineer), and Rubens Cardoso (architect), I hereby announce that the Bamboo Institute completed during this week their social bamboo house (which combined colombian techniques, lightweight "bahareque" (cob) wall structure, and roofing joinery). There will be an open-house until Friday, where the governor of Alagoas Ronaldo Lessa will join us along with other delegates. This house was built in a disadvantaged community of Juvenópolis, the neighborhood of Bebedouro, next to the Municipal Park of Maceió, where Bambusa Vulgaris is quite abundant. The approximate cost of this house was 4,200 reais (1475 dollars approxiamately). INBAMBU's prototype furniture will be in exposition inside the house during the week. Here is a link to a photograph detailing the front view of the construction: http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/groups/g_11337744/INBAMBU+ (Instituto+do+Bambu)+Mac% e9io/Unidade+Habitacional+Social/Unidade+Habitacional+Social.jpg? bcPA7r_APwohgy.o [note: This project is based on the Costan Rican housing project and adapted to Brazilian standards and local conditions in the region (Alagoas/Brazil) by the Bamboo Institute. The area covers 38.4 square meters (2 rooms, living room, bathroom, kitchen, and porch), cost $4,200 reais ($1475), which represents a 40% reduction in cost of a typical concrete home. Is that inexpensive? Economically viable, easy to use, highly durable, and exotic--bamboo has been used for many decades in other countries in Latin America and Asia, but only now is being used in Brazil. Research has shown that bamboo's fibers are resistent when mixed with concrete, eliminating the necessity of steel (expensive and high consumption of energy/resources). Let's build some more!
