Abstract

The thesis is a research driven design study of a multiple floor/"high-rise" building with a structure of Laminated Guadua bamboo in Guayaquil Ecuador. Dealing with earthquakes, context, structure and sustainability issues. The Thesis is strongly oriented to structure, the industry and the state of the industry itself but always driven by sustainable consequences. It tried to explore the possibilities and the limitations of the context and the material itself. Results of the research and the design have also been tested regarding most aspects of sustainability and physical tests have been made to verify the claims, although no decisive conclusion can be made.
