Pretty interesting concept. I read it in my paper copy of the magazine, but it's available free online.

This site has interesting concepts also. I first read Bo Atkinsons ideas and saw his work several years ago. I made my thin shell concrete mushroom on the front porch from his information and Ken Kerns writings.

Amanda posted a link to some of his other work in another section of the forum.

I finally found Bo's page for the whole house concept I read a long time ago.
