17. An architectural structure as claimed in Claim 16, wherein the outer layers
are formed of concrete.
10
18. An architectural structure as claimed in Claim 16 or 17 wherein the
insulating layer is a natural renewable material.
19. An architectural structure as claimed in Claim 16, 17 or 18, wherein the
15 insulating layer comprises two outer insulating layers of mushroom board and an
inner layer of mushroom foam.
20. An architectural structure as claimed in Claim 16, 17, 18 or 19, wherein the
insulating layer has a cut-out formed at each vertex in the form of a part of a circle
20 and wherein the at least one planar component further comprise a plurality of circular discs of insulating material of the same thickness as the insulating layers, which circular discs are positioned between adjacent vertices of adjacent panels.
21. An architectural structure as claimed in any preceding claim, comprising at
25 least one peripheral frame for receiving an edge of the at least one planar
component, wherein the at least one peripheral frame comprises a plurality of components being shaped on an outer side to have a straight edge and shaped inner edge to receive the planar component.
30 22. An architectural structure as claimed in any preceding claim, comprising a plurality of connecting members located between adjacent panels and a plurality of eight edge pieces which each correspond in shape and size to half of one of the
19

connecting members located between the adjacent panels and which edge pieces fit over an edge of the panel and provide a smooth edge to the panel.
23. An architectural structure as claimed in any preceding claim, in the form of a
5 building, wherein at least a portion of the ceiling or roof of the building comprises
the at least one planar component.
24. An architectural structure as claimed in any preceding claim, in the form of a
building, wherein at least a portion of the floor of the building comprises the at least
