Lesson plan
Binishell
. . Binishells are reinforced concrete thin-shell structures that are lifted and shaped by air pressure. The original technology was invented in the 1960s by Dante Bini, who built 1,600 of them in 23 countries. The original Binishell method needs expensive and sophisticated equipment, but it remains one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to construct dome-shaped, monolithic, and reinforced shell structures.
