A monocoque building shell is made up of multiple sections of a compound curved shape. Along the axial length of the building the walls and roof are madeup of a repeated smooth wave form, the amplitude of the wave being in proportion to the stresses generated in the shell as a function of its weight and shape and assumed loads such as snow. In the transverse direction the roof is an hyperbolic shape from the roof center to the corner where the shape curves downward into vertical walls. The wall construction is of insulative foam in a sandwich between inner and outer skins of fiberglass.
