520 |a The goal of this research was to develop a building product or detail that supports the development of a sustainable and affordable house for the lower income groups in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. The building product should be locally available, not harm the environment, deal with the local conditions, be culturally accepted, stimulate a community based process and maybe even develop a local economy. Bamboo was found to be the best option for these criteria. The bamboo species Guadua Chachoensis is locally available, although it is not often used as a building material. Unfortunately, bamboo has to be protected against fungal attack. Therefore, chemical preservation liquids, like Borax, are necessary. Preferably, research into nonchemical preservatives should be done, so a more environmental friendly product can be realised. When using bamboo as a building material in a semi-tropical climate, the bamboo has to be raised above the ground, protected against rain and have enough air run through it for ventilation. Adequate detailing can significantly prolong the lifespan of the bamboo construction.
