In this article, processes of the design and construction in an actual building made of bamboo are reported. The design and construction were required to be conducted so that it can be made by manual labor of students and volunteers due to the limited budget and materials right after the disaster of the East Japan Great Earthquake on 2011.
To satisfy those requirements, bamboo which is supplied easily at near the site, was adopted as structural material, and handmade joint with enough strength was developed and the structural behavior and performance of this building were verified by experiments and numerical analyses.
