Self-Shaping Space Structures

This paper describes the evolution of an innovative concept devised by Dante Bini in the early Sixties and later developed in a series of construction systems. This concept is based on the use of air pressure as a source of power for developing an automatic building process. The idea has further developed into a series of technologies based on the use of energy stored within various components of a self-shaping structure. These concepts may represent a first step toward “Auto-construction”.
