ADVENTAGES
• Cultural sustainability: a tradition
system.
• Environmental sustainability: eco-
material
• Lighter: ideal for volcanic activities
places and steeped areas.
• More efficient as a seismic resisted
constructive system.
• More economic
• Lest risk of collapse

POPULAR CONSTRUCTIONS
GUADUA ANGUSTIFOLIA KUNTH IS AN
EXTRAORDINARY CONSTRUCTION
MATERIAL AND A REAL ALTERNATIVE FOR
HELPING TO SOLVE, IN A PRACTICAL AND
ECONOMIC WAY, THE SERIOUS PROBLEMS
CAUSED BY THE SHORTAGE OF HOUSING
IN MOST LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES.
TO BUILD WITH BAMBOO/GUADUA IS A GOOD
ALTERNATIVE BECAUSE A STRONG ALLIANCE
HAVE TO BE DONE BETWEEN CONSTRUCTERS,
COMMERCIAL PEOPLE, FARMERS AND LABOR
FORCE.
USING BAMBOO FOR CONSTRUCTION IS USING
A NATIVE MATERIAL AND EMPLOYING A BIG
AMOUNT OF LOCAL PEOPLE.
