Frameless construction method using single and double plenum panels
A method of constructing a building comprising the steps of attaching a first panel to a second panel. The first panel is one of a single plenum panel and a multi-plenum panel and the second panel is one of a single plenum panel and a multi-plenum panel.
ACTUATED FOLDABLE BUILDING SYSTEM MODULE
A foldable building system module (FBSM) comprising an integrated deployable modular building system. The foldable building system module comprises prefabricated panels connected by hinges which allow the panels to be unfolded from a flat pack geometry to an unfolded, erected or deployed geometry. An actuating mechanism can be integrated in one or more of the panels and, by applying load to one or more of the panels, allow for automated erection of the module. Two or more of the FBSM's can be connected in series to provide a building system.
THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTED BUILDING COMPONENTS AND STRUCTURES
A residential or commercial building, structure, or building component can include an exterior member, interior member, and plurality of cross-members spatially disposed therebetween. Each of the exterior member, interior member, cross-members can be formed from a multi-layered stack of polymeric material made by a layered three-dimensional printing process, and all can be monolithically integrated. An exterior surface region of the exterior member can have an integrally formed surface finish. Overlying finishing or connective layers can be added. The exterior and interior members can be configured in a parallel arrangement to form a rectangular or curve shaped building block. A fill material can be disposed into openings between the exterior and interior members, and an interior surface region at the interior member can include a cavity configured for an electrical box, plumbing, or a sensing device.
CONSTRUCTIVE ASSEMBLY FOR BUILDING WALLS
The present invention relates to a constructive assembly for building walls which allow forming wall coverings. Examples of coverings that can be formed with the present invention are façades, party walls and partition walls. The constructive assembly is characterized by being formed by a plurality of cables intended for being arranged under stress in the vertical position, and a plurality of blocks having coupling means for coupling them to cables such that integral joining is assured, forming the wall. Walls thus formed do not require the use of mortar or the need to be built by skilled labor, making it possible to build reformed or new exposed wall faces more easily and in a cleaner and faster manner and, in the case of thin material (tiles), with the certainty that such material will not become detached.

Modular Building Unit, System and Method
The invention is for a modular building unit (10, 200, 210) for use in constructing a building. The building unit (10, 200, 210) has a planar body (12) having two major side faces (12.1) and two ends (12.2) between each side face (12.1), and a connection interface (28, 30) provided at each of the ends, for connecting similar building units (10, 200, 210) with complemental connection interfaces. The body (12) comprises three walls (14, 16, 18) arranged side-to-side and transversely spaced from each other, the three walls (14, 16, 18) thus defining two planar spaces (20, 22) therebetween, and a plurality of reinforcing webs (24) in the first space, for providing structural support to the building unit (10, 200, 210). The second space (22) defines at least one hollow cavity for receiving a matched insulation insert (25) thereby to impart insulating properties to the building unit (10, 200, 210).

Composite structure members for construction of multi-floor structures
The present invention relates to structure members having a body made of a composite material comprising at least one type of fiber and at least one type of resin, and pluralities of connection extensions which are one-piece with said body in order to provide connection to another structure member with the same properties, and the present invention relates to a structure formed by said structure members.

METHOD AND MODULE SYSTEM FOR BUILDING A WALL STRUCTURE
A method and a module system for building purposes by using a module system is provided, said module system including a plurality of mutually equal-sized basic components, which are assembled for a wall structure in one or more vertical planes by installing the same in connection with each other side by side and on top of each other. The wall structure is put together from substantially thin-walled basic components, which are open at ends thereof opposite in a lengthwise direction thereof and have an open internal space, and which are coupled to each other side by side and on top of each other with connection pieces capable of being connected with a first form locking joint to lengthwise coupling arrangements present on each external side thereof. The basic components are coupled to each other with an end block interconnecting the basic components by the opposite ends thereof.
