Abstract. "Glued bamboo prefabricated construction system", developed by the Advanced Architecture Lab (AAL) together with the bamboo institute of the Chinese Academy of Forestry. The Glue-bam investigation is a three years long research project in Huazhong University of Science and Technology Advanced Architecture Lab sponsored by Advance Construction Information Development (ACID). Integrating computational design application with material to achieve DIY housing through parametric computational aid designing, bringing designers closer to its client.
The Project aims to transform the rich bamboo resource in China into the industrialized building structure material. "Glued bamboo prefabricated construction system" advocates a social design, social produce solution and a customizable construction system upon prefabrication. Keywords. Design-it yourself; Glue Laminated Bamboo; Generative Construction
