Abstract

A hexagon building structure offset layering system uses hexagon structures assembled in an offset layering architecture to construct building walls, floors, roofs, and other structures. Six alignments fastening holes (4) are equidistantly spaced and located on interior panels (1) and (2). The holes (4) provide fastener locations for screwing or bolting through the layers of the hexagon. The holes (4) align with an offset layer of hexagons when assembled in the axial direction. A hexagon with three equally spaced extruded equilateral triangles (1141a) provided with edges (1142) extending past face (145) equal to groove (143) depth form monolithic building block (1135) and its hexagon (1135) derivative halves: cut symmetrically along two opposing flat sides (1138), and cut along two opposing points in hexagon derivatives (1136) and (1137). Conduit holes (12) are selectively located depending on the fastening technique selected. Hexagon panels providing curved conduits (1000) and (1002), and (1003) which align when assembled (1004). Radiant fluid heating and cooling tubes applied in flooring, walls, and ceilings for sprinkler systems can not be over curved or they will crack and leak. Hexagon 999 conduits can be curved in a wide range of radius to accommodate any tubing requirement. A layer of radiant infrared coatings are applied to the surfaces to manage heat radiating the heat into the room rather than floor. Since hexagon buildings are built from hexagon building structures (7) without customization, hexagon buildings can be rebuilt, modified, or recycled onto a like building using the same materials.
