ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses a building system comprising a plurality of modular elements, each having interlockable edges around the entire periphery thereof. These elements are interlockable, one to the other, to form a completed housing structure. The elements include flat side wall members having an interlockable edge around the entire periphery and curved wall joint members having a cross sectional width wider than the thickness of the joint members such that the longitudinal edges of the wall joint members are moved from the immediate corner thereof. Each curved wall joint member has an interlockable edge around its entire perimeter which interconnects with the interlockable edge of the side members such that an enclosed structure can be formed by selective interconnecting the side members and the curved wall joint members. The roof and flooring are added by the use of flat roof and floor members, each having an interlockable edge around the entire perimeter thereof, curved roof to wall joint members having an interlockable edge around the entire edge perimeter and curved floor to wall joint members having an interlockable edge around their entire perimeter for interconnecting with the edge of the side wall members to connect the roof and floor members to the wall members. The structure is further characterized by curved corner members having interlockable edges around their entire edge boundary for interconnection with the interlocking edges of the end of the curved wall joint members and the roof to wall joint members to form a sealed structure. Both the roof and floor to wall joint members and the curved corner members have an overall cross-sectional width wider than the thickness of the wall of the member such that the edges of these members are removed from the center thereof.
