A system and method for primarily erecting curvilinear buildings using a plurality of interconnected structural tubes/sandwich panels is provided. Fabricating a structural tubing comprises: connecting a fibrous and flexible lining to an inner surface of a flexible outer membrane, wherein the lining is saturated in a curable material that forms into a solid foam material when cured; and curing the curable material. Fabricating a sandwich panel comprises: connecting a first fibrous and flexible lining to an inner surface of a first flexible outer membrane, wherein the first lining is saturated in a curable material that forms into a solid foam when cured; connecting a second fibrous and flexible lining to an inner surface of a second flexible outer membrane, wherein the second lining is saturated in a curable material that forms into a solid foam when cured; and curing the curable material of the first lining and second linings.

1. A free standing curvilinear structure constructed by use of multiple inflated, cured, and hardened structural tubings and at least one sandwich panel, wherein the curvilinear structure comprises: multiple structural tubings, wherein each structural tubing comprises: a flexible outer membrane, wherein the membrane contains an outer surface and an inner surface; anda first lining connected to the inner or outer surface of the membrane, wherein the first lining comprises a first solid foam material formed from an inflated and cured expandable curable first lining material,wherein the flexible outer membrane and lining are pre-manufactured as the flexible outer membrane connected to the expandable curable first lining material before curing, and wherein the structural tubing is formed and shaped by the pre-manufactured flexible membrane and first lining, and wherein the curable first lining material is saturated and substantially flexible before curing and the first solid foam material is substantially rigid; andat least one sandwich panel, wherein each sandwich panel comprises: a second lining comprising a second solid foam material formed from a cured expandable curable second lining material; anda third lining comprising a third solid foam material formed from a cured expandable curable third lining material, wherein the second and third solid foam materials meet, and wherein the second and third linings are pre-manufactured,wherein each sandwich panel spans and encloses an area between structural tubings. 2. The curvilinear structure of claim 1, further comprising at least one additional membrane having a first layer and a second layer, wherein at least two of the multiple structural tubings are located between the first layer and the second layer. 3. A curvilinear structure of claim 1, further comprising: an upper extra membrane; anda lower extra membrane,wherein at least two of the structural tubings are connected together by the upper extra membrane and the lower extra membrane. 4. The curvilinear structure of claim 3, wherein the lining of the structural tubing is connected to the inner surface of at least one membrane. 5. A system for forming a free-standing curvilinear structure, comprising: multiple structural tubing forms, wherein each structural tubing form further comprises: a flexible outer first membrane, wherein the first membrane contains an outer surface and an inner surface; anda flexible first lining bonded to a surface of the first membrane, wherein the first lining is saturated with an unexpanded expanding first curable material;at least one sandwich panel, wherein each sandwich panel further comprises: a second lining saturated with an unexpanded expanding second curable material; anda third lining saturated with an unexpanded expanding third curable material,wherein the second and third curable materials meet, the linings are pre-manufactured, and each sandwich panel connects between tubing forms,means for inflating the multiple structural tubing forms; anda catalytic agent applicable to the flexible linings and configured to cure and expand at least one of the expanding curable materials into a solid foam material. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein each structural tubing form is coupled to another structural tubing form at a joint, within the same curved or flat plane so as to provide interconnection between the structural tubing forms so that all interconnected tubing forms are configured to be inflated by the means for inflating the multiple tubing forms. 7. The curvilinear structure of claim 5, where in the first lining comprises fibrous and flexible saturated felt. 8. The system of claim 5, wherein the sandwich panel further comprises: a third membrane, wherein the third lining is bonded to a portion of the third membrane; anda second membrane, wherein the second lining is bonded to a portion of the second membrane. 9. The system of claim 5, wherein the third and second lining of the sandwich panel are fibrous and flexible saturated felt.
