Poética da narrativa tectônica em projetos que utilizam o bambu como elemento estrutural do objeto edificado

Abstract

This dissertation aims to analyze the tectonics of architectural designs that use bamboo as a structural element, taking as a cut examples produced in Indonesia and Brazil between 2013 and 2023: Ananda House (2015) and The Arc (2021) - IBUKU; Refúgio das Borboletas (2023) - Helena Ruette. The justification for this research is based on the contribution of the tectonic analysis regarding the architectural proposals that explore the expressive potential of bamboo as a support for the loads of the object intended in the formal design, aiming to collaborate with future architectural productions that see the potential of this unconventional material and become aware of the aggravating scenario of climate change, resulting from the exacerbated exploitation of the planet's natural - finite - resources. To achieve the objective, the methodological procedure starts from the bibliographical review, followed by the selection of designs, data collection and application of tectonic analytical parameters, in which it’s important to discern the relationships of the site, resistant structure and sealing elements to the aesthetic-formal result architecture. In this sense, the observed results infer that the tectonic narrative of architectural projects that propose structural bamboo is expressed more strongly through the versatility in the use of grass, as well as through its technical details necessary for the joints of the elements of the formal architectural structure, and by establish a design process in line with the characteristics of the raw material’s constructive culture.
