-Bini Shell System,  In 1964 Dante N Bini built the first hemispherical thin shell structure by pneumatically and 
-automatically lifting all the necessary construction materials, which were distributed horizontally over a pneumatic form 
-anchored to a circular ring beam, from ground level into an hemispherical dome. After the initial ground preparation was finished, that concrete thin shell structure was built in 60 minutes. http://www.inhabitat.com/entry_1120.php\\

-Architect Wallace Neff became obsessed with what he called airform architecture—domed structures created by inflating a massive balloon, then covering it in a concrete shell. Neff regarded his airforms as his most important work. Commissioned by the War Department in the 1940s, Neff built these structures in Virginia, Arizona, and California—as well as in South America, India, and Africa. Of the airforms built in California, only one still stands, in Pasadena, where Steve Roden lives in it.(lucky guy:)). http://unframed.lacma.org/2009/04/09/steve-roden-on-wallace-neff+Architect Wallace Neff became obsessed with what he called airform architecture—domed structures created by inflating a massive balloon, then covering it in a concrete shell. The result is more tactile than, say, Buckminster Fuller's geodesic domes (designed about a decade later); Roden describes their look and feel "as if someone hand-made a ceramic bowl, then flipped it over."Neff regarded his airforms as his most important work.
