Project for the use of cardboard tubes as building material in temporary events

Several events, fairs and exhibitions take place annually, both national and international. For these events to take place, it is necessary to plan and prepare the infrastructure for the public. Thus,cardboard can represent a possibility of constructive material for use in events and fairs. The objective of this work is to propose the use of cardboard tubes for the construction of the structure and kiosks used to hold a fair in the city of Limeira, São Paulo, aiming at sustainability and environmental awareness of the visiting public. Methodologically, a study was made of some traditional events that take place in the city, and then the structure and kiosks were designed using AutoCAD and SketchUp. As a result, there is a detailed design of the structures and kiosks used in the vegan fair. This study allows concluding that cardboard tubes can compose different constructions in engineering and architecture with satisfactory durability and resistance.
