Binishell

The original Binishell method needs expensive and sophisticated equipment but it remains as one of the fastest and cost-effective ways to construct dome-shaped, monolithic, and reinforced shell structures.

[3] Uses for the Binishells range from schools, housing, tourist villages, sports arenas, storage, silos and discothèques.

In 1971, several Binishells were constructed in Australia, for a governmental initiative that required rapid building system for multi-purpose centers.

Improvements to the original system include greater architectural flexibility, compliance to international building codes, simplification of the construction process and integration of latest material and passive heating/cooling technologies.

These additional advantages include a rectangular floor plan, multi-floor capabilities, built-in openings and natural venting.
