Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a structure, a method of constructing said structure and a method of constructing a panel of said structure.
  • An alternative construction method is to construct substantially spherical building from panels which connected together to form the walls and roof of a building. Given the panels can be mass produced off-site and then assembled on-site, on-site construction times are much reduced over the more traditional methods mentioned above.
  • Such spherical buildings must either have load bearing walls or be constructed on a supporting slab so as to support the structure.
  • Load bearing walls requires the panels to be strengthened, which increases the materials used for the panels and so increases costs. Further to this, each panel's weight is increased, which increases the difficulty of putting the panels together. Finally the joints between panels must be strengthened to be load-bearing, which often requires specialist equipment (such as welding equipment).
  • the slab When a slab is used to support the structure, the slab can take the form of foundations. In such cases, time must still be taken on-site to place such foundations. Further to this, the position of such a building is limited to positions in which foundations can be installed. This rules out, for example, protected environments or other environments where it is important not to damage the ecosystem (i.e. a garden). If the supporting slab does not form part of a foundation, given the materials from which a supporting slab are usually made (i.e. concrete) can be considered relatively unsightly, such structures are not considered particularly aesthetically pleasing. In addition, such materials are relatively heavy, and so are relatively difficult to install without specialist equipment to move the slab into place (i.e. a crane). The use of more aesthetically pleasing (and lighter) material is either prevented due to such materials not providing the necessary support to the building (i.e. plastic or wood) or providing a thermal bridge into the building and so compromising the insulation (i.e. metal).
  • the material of the rest of the spherical buildings e.g. metal, wood and plastic
  • the supporting slab requires specialist equipment to construct on site (e.g. a concrete pouring machine), or specialist equipment such as a crane to bring on site premade.
  • This specialist equipment must be hired out, and commonly requires a specialist to operate. This increases construction costs, and makes it more difficult to construct the building.
  • the present invention is intended to solve or at least reduce the prevalence of at least some of these problems.
  • a structure comprising a planar support and a plurality of panels, the planar support comprising two substantially planar faces, a first face and a second face, and an edge running from the periphery of the first face to the periphery of the second face, the panels connecting together to form a barrier shaped as at least part of a hollow sphere, the barrier comprising a first surface defining the outer boundary of the hollow sphere and a second surface defining the inner boundary the hollow sphere, wherein the edge of the planar support connects to the second surface of the barrier such that the planar support and barrier together enclose a volume which defines an interior of the structure, the first face of the planar support acting as or supporting a floor of the structure and the planar support supporting the barrier.
  • the support of the structure connecting to the second surface of the barrier allows the outside of the structure to be defined solely by the barrier.
  • the support of the structure is therefore hidden from view in normal use, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing structure.
  • a further advantage is that the planar support need not be exposed to the outside, or at least the first face and the edge of the planar support need not be exposed to the outside. This prevents the planar support (or these parts of these planar support) from acting as a thermal bridge. Therefore, the planar support (or parts) can be constructed out of more aesthetically pleasing (and lighter) materials. This also means the planar support can be constructed out of materials which result in the parts not requiring specialist equipment to assemble and being light enough to carry by hand, and so the entire structure can be put together with common household tools and by hand.
  • Each panel may comprise a first face, a second face and an edge, the edge of the panel extending from the periphery of the first face to the periphery of the second face, the first face comprising part of the first surface of the barrier and the second face comprising part of the second surface of the barrier.
  • Each panel may be a polygon, such that each face of the panel is that particular polygon.
  • the plurality of panels may connect together to form the barrier by one or more sides of the edge of a panel each being connected to a respective side of the edge of a neighbouring panel.
  • the plurality of panels may comprise one or more pentagonal panels and one or more pentagonal panels.
  • the plurality of panels may comprise one or more trapezoid panels. This minimises the number of types of panel the barrier comprises, which results in fewer different parts needing to be manufactured. This reduces costs and speeds up manufacturing.
  • the planar support may comprise a frame.
  • the frame may comprise a central hub with a plurality of spokes extending from it to a rim, the central hub and spokes defining the faces of the planar support and the rim defining the edge of the planar support.
  • the frame may comprise metal.
  • the frame may comprise aluminium.
  • the planar support may comprise a thermally insulating layer.
  • the thermally insulating layer may extend across at least part of the second face of the planar support.
  • the thermally insulating layer may comprise any thermally insulating material, for example wood or plastic. The thermally insulating layer keeps the planar support from acting as a thermal bridge even if the bottom of the support is exposed to the exterior of the structure.
  • the planar support may comprise a plurality of legs. Each leg may extend substantially perpendicularly to the support, each leg extending in the same direction as the other leg or legs. Each leg may be substantially the same length as the other leg or legs. Alternatively, the one or more legs may be a different length to one or more other legs.
  • the barrier may comprise an aperture for each leg, each leg extending through its respective aperture. Each leg may comprise a wheel attached to its end. Alternatively or additionally, each leg may be operable to be connected to the ground. Each leg may be operable to be fastened to the ground. Each leg may comprise, or be arranged to receive, an earth screw for connecting it to the ground.
  • One or more legs may be telescopic.
  • the structure may comprise a computer. The computer may be connected to the telescopic legs so as to control them.
  • the plurality of legs allows the support to be raised off the ground, which means the barrier may define a full sphere. This results in a more aesthetically pleasing structure. Further to this, the legs result in the structure being easier to set up in variety of different environments.
  • the wheels of the structure result in the structure being more easily repositioned.
  • the ground screws also contribute to the structure being more easily repositioned, while still being held in place once positioning is complete.
  • Each leg being telescopic allows the legs to be raised and lowered, which helps to position the structure on the particular ground and means the structure can be raised and/or lowered, which for example ca be useful in preventing the interior of the structure from being damaged in the event of a flood.
  • the structure comprises a computer connected to the telescopic legs, the computer can be programmed to automatically adjust the length of the legs, for example in the event of a flood.
  • One or more panels may comprise one or more conduits, the or each conduit extending from a respective first position on the edge of the panel to a respective second position on the edge of the panel.
  • the first and second position for each conduit may be opposite positions on the edge.
  • each conduit of the panel may connect to every other conduit of the panel.
  • one or more conduits of a panel may each connect to a respective conduit of another panel. The connected conduits may align.
  • the conduits allow utilities for the structure, including water, electricity and ventilation, to run through the panels. This results in the structure being easier to manufacture and build, since utilities are easier to install. Further to this, the utilities can be installed as the panels are attached, rather than after the walls are built as is usually the case for more traditional buildings. This reduces the time taken on-site to install the utilities and so also reduces construction times and costs.
