Abstract

This chapter highlights how the Binishell system has evolved to better respond to the challenging task of organising human life inside a space with no orthogonal elements or conventional doors and windows. The chapter describes how the limits of the original Binishell patent became a source of inspiration for Bini and led to the development of other automated construction systems, such as the Minishell and the Pack-Home. These inventions also inspired Bini’s son—Nicolò—to redesign a fluid and non-modular contemporary version of the Binishell system with the idea of investing in construction innovation to address the current sustainability issues of the built environment.

Fußnoten
1
The title of this chapter is a tribute to Zorgno and her scholarly work. See her 1992 journal article entitled: “Beyond the Cubic Prison”.
 
2
The Italian title of the Binishells spa promotional catalogue is: “Binishells. Nuova tecnica per nuove forme”. This document is available online at: www.​binisystems.​com.
 
3
The title of Salvadori’s article for the Italian Binishells spa promotional catalogue is: “Problemi tecnici della progettazione e della costruzione di volte sottili” (Technical issues in the design and construction of thin shells).
 
4
The Binishells spa promotional catalogue erroneously describes the first small house as a 10-m diameter dome. Bini has confirmed he has never constructed a Binishell that was smaller than 12 m in diameter or 4 m in height.
 
5
This story was told by Bini during an exchange of emails with the book authors.
 
6
The promotional catalogue did not acknowledge the architect’s name. Email exchanges with Bini confirmed this experimental house was designed by Nordio, who also worked on other Binishell projects.
 
7
Styles was a trainee with the Government Architect’s Branch of the Department of Public Works of New South Wales, between 1968 and 1973. Together with another trainee, John Rabong, he was asked to support to Bini and assist him with his local knowledge about construction techniques and materials for the erection of the first Australian Binishells in Narrabeen. Styles provided this information directly to the authors in 2015.
