System and method for building structures using multilayered panel frames
The present invention is to provide assemblies with polygon shaped panel frames, separators and parts for light weight construction that is versatile, rigid, flexible and structurally stable. The assemblies with polygon shaped panel frames, separators and parts for constructing a complete building structure eliminates the need for conventional framing using unitized polygon shaped panel frames with alignment pieces, separators and fastener parts connected together. The assemblies with polygon shaped panel frames, separators and parts comprises of panel frames which are different geometric shapes or polygon parts, including but not limited to circles, ovals, triangles, trapezoids, rectangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, etc. Panel frames can be hollowed or solid and can be fabricated as pieces of and in itself. Panel frames can be composed of many types of materials including but not limited to wood, metal, polymers, composites, plastics, etc. Two (2) or more panel frames are connected with fasteners utilizing a “link”. Links are parts that create separation between the panel frames and also conjoin other panel frames. Links provide load transfer and can be made of polymers, wood, composites, metal, plastics, etc. The panel frames and links are connected together using fasteners like screws, bolts, nuts, tee-nuts, rivets, rivet nuts, couplers, standoffs, dowels, etc. The panel frames and links are designed to repeat and can provide a building structure with window and doorway openings space and utility space for electrical and plumbing installations. Further, the assemblies can be easily rearranged and reassembled to achieve the desired configuration at low cost, efficient time and minimal labor.
