Dante Bini to Build Self-Erecting House in Less than 60 MinutesOn November 19th in St. Helena, California, architect Dante Bini will attempt to build a 4-ton, 600-square-foot house through the use of robots alone.
Spurred by recent natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina, the Asian tsunami, and the Pakistan earthquake, Bini has developed a super low cost self-erecting house that can be constructed in less than an hour and can be easily moved from location to location-enabling emergency workers to build a temporary city in days.
The Binishelter can be constructed out of bamboo, clay with natural fibers, wood, durock, steel; whatever material is at hand.
It can also be customized into two-story buildings that could house schools, depending on the needs of the community.
