ABSTRACT:
A building comprising a plurality of structurally stable building cells is disclosed, wherein the cells are structured so that each forms at least part of a room of the building. Each cell has at least three planar, substantially vertical walls having an average thickness of about 1/4 inch to about 2 inches, except in areas of localized thickening. The cell has a roof in the form of a structure having substantially the structural action of a double curved thinshelled dome, which extends from the tops of the walls to form an integral concrete structure. The roof has a rise to chord ratio between 1:10 and 1:60. The roof is also about 1/4 inch to about 2 inches thick, except in areas of localized thickening. The roof and the top of the walls are joined by a continuous edge stiffening member, and a floor is joined to the bottom of the walls. Two or more of these cells are stacked one over the other in a generally vertical relationship in the building.
