ABSTRACT:
A building framework includes a group of A-shaped basic building elements interconnected together to form the framework for a building such as a dome, swimming pool cover and a silo. Each one of the A-shaped basic building elements is composed of bendable material to enable it to flex and thus to enable the framework to assume different desired shapes. The building elements include first, second and third elongated strips, which are connected together to form an A shape defining a triangularly-shaped, centrally-disposed opening. The end portions of the strips form first, second and third pairs of legs extending from the centrally disposed opening. The legs are adapted to be connected to the legs of other similar basic building elements. The first and second strips are connected together and mutually intersect at the first pair of legs, and the opposite ends of the first and second strips are each connected to and intersect with the third strip in a spaced-apart manner at the second and third pairs of legs to form the triangularly-shaped opening.
