This thesis studies low cost building techniques that are accessible to a wide range of population groups and are suitable for the use of materials in their natural state with little or no processing. The materials used are basically bamboo, raw earth and vegetable fibers and resins. First a series of tests were carried out with experimental objects to assess suitability for use as sealants, covering, outer covering and external protection – brise –soleil panels and structural arches. Following this, we describe the perfecting of the bamboo coating process in progress the Free Design Laboratory of Rio’s Catholic University. Building on these construction techniques, inspired by the manipulation of a soap bubble a series of experimental mechanical and virtual models were elaborated for a multi-use space measuring 7.7m by 6m at the base with a height of 3.2m, made of bamboo tapes, with a raw earth, fiber and resin covering. In the geometry of these models the walls and covering are a continuous surface with two layers one on another, separated but interconnected. In this way the outer wall is formed which extends over and is supported by the entire perimeter of the structure. The following step was to make a full scale construction in which bamboo tapes were used to form the geometric shape of the base of the bubble in order to do practical tests of the possibilities of assembly and disassembly of such a structure. Tests were also done on the resistance factors afforded by the singular bubble format. Finally, based on the previous experiment we present innovative solutions to the problem of hygrothermic comfort in humid tropical climates which substitute the thermal inertia strategy of thick, heavy building materials with the lightness of a double outer layer that holds ventilated air chambers between these layers.
