You are a sculptor that likes to paint, or you are a painter that likes to sculpt, an architect or emergency worker in a disaster area, or your just someone that likes to work with the newest materials.

Concrete Canvas

The applications, I believe are primarily for architects and structural engineers, but innovative applications for new materials is basically art history in a nutshell. As they begin production, it will be interesting to see what might be done.

In cases of natural disasters, the materials can be airdropped on location. The interesting thing is that this concrete structure is inflatable! Yes, you build the positive  by inflating a structure and then the concrete canvas mixed with water (does not need to be potable, but not sewage or salt water), airdry for 12 hours, the structures can last 10 years.

CC is a rapidly deployable hardened shelter that requires only water and air for construction. It can be deployed by a person without any training in under 40 minutes and is ready to use in 12 hours. The key to CC is the use of inflation to create a surface that is optimised for compressive loading. This allows thin walled concrete structures to be formed which are both robust and lightweight.
