The heart of the four metre tall curved concrete shell is knitted. The structure's formwork is a textile supported by a steel cable-net. The prototype KnitCandela marks the first application that this ...

Created by Binishells using proprietary technology, the building process involves inflating a single reusable formwork with air to create a sustainable "sculpture for living." Houses We Love: Every ...

The distinctive shell structures form part of what was Norwich Sports Village, which opened in Hellesdon in 1988 [John East/Twentieth Century Society] A leisure centre's "majestic" concrete domes ...

In an article recently published in the journal Additive Manufacturing, researchers discussed the utility of automated robotic concrete spraying in the digital manufacturing of ribbed concrete shells.

Concrete shells are efficient structures, but not very resource efficient. The formwork for the construction of concrete domes alone requires a high amount of labor and material. A very resource ...
