In this episode, we'll be talking to Dante Bini, architect, inventor and pioneer who has spent a lifetime thinking and building outside the box. Born in 1932 in Castelfranco Emilia, Bini developed a revolutionary construction system in the 1960s: concrete cast flat on the ground, then lifted into its final form as air flows into a pneumatic form. No scaffolding. No waste. A fifty-tonne dome rising from the earth in sixty minutes.

Over a hundred patents and more than 1,600 domes built across 23 countries—scattered across Emilia, Sardinia, Mount Etna, Australian forests and Texas deserts. Among them, a futuristic residence built in 1970 for Michelangelo Antonioni and Monica Vitti on the Sardinian coast. Like Brunelleschi before him, Bini invented the tools to realize his vision, shaping matter with a breath of air. At 94, his enthusiasm for the future shows no sign of slowing down.
