IMPLEMENTATION OF LAMINATED BAMBOO IN PAVILION BUILDINGS AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO SUBSTITUTE WOOD (CASE STUDY: PAVILION AT MERTASARI BEACH, SANUR, DENPASAR)

Abstract

Wood Construction has a lower carbon footprint compared to other modern materials. However, the use of wood materials in the long term can cause deforestation which has a negative impact on the forest ecosystem. In reducing pressure on forests and helping to combat deforestation, the development of innovative laminated bamboo materials has emerged as an alternative to wood materials. This condition raises further questions about how to apply laminated bamboo materials as an alternative to wood in building construction? This study aims to determine how to apply laminated bamboo materials to building construction as an alternative to wood materials. The research was conducted using a case study method. The case that was used as the object of study in this study was a pavilion at Mertasari Beach, Sanur, which was built with laminated bamboo materials in the structure and construction of the building. This study was conducted by observing the application of laminated bamboo materials to the Pavilion through planning drawings, modeling (design mockups), and the construction process in the field. The discussion was carried out by describing the structure of the laminated bamboo material, and comparing it with the structure of wood materials in general. As a result, laminated bamboo materials in construction can be used for building structures, such as beam and column structures. Laminated bamboo also has almost the same quality as wood, and the method of applying laminated bamboo materials is not much different from the application of wood materials in building construction. So that laminated bamboo material can be a substitute material for wood material as the main structure of the building. This can have the opportunity to reduce the use of wood material which is increasingly rare, and indirectly can help reduce deforestation rates.
