Thus the model covers both house production and the selection and sales system for purchasers. The report part of the TOTEM describes the technology for establishing facilities and producing low-cost bamboo houses for rural development in regions where bamboo is available as a raw material. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the illustrative film included in this TOTEM package.
