A portable modular building structure that includes a plurality of sections assembled adjacent one another. The sections include molded fiberboard panels, that optionally include interior plenums. In an embodiment, each panel has an upwardly curving profile, and mirror-image sections are attached to one another via a fastener, that may include tape or other mechanical fastener. The sections are positioned end to end, with the number of sections determining the overall length of the structure. An optional end section of the structure may include wedge shaped sections positioned end to end, forming a curved end.

1. A building structure positioned on a substrate surface, the building structure including a first section, the first section comprising: A first curved panel having a wedge-shaped lateral profile, a first base end and a first connection end elevated above the first base end, the first curved panel including a curved molded fiberboard;a second curved panel having a wedge-shaped lateral profile, a second base end and a second connection end elevated above the second base end, the second curved panel including a curved molded fiberboard;a first fastener connecting the panels at the respective first and second connection ends, wherein, the first and second base ends are positioned adjacent the substrate surface and the fastened connection ends are elevated above the surface; wherein the first fastener includes a generally semi-circular connector biscuit positioned inside both the first and second connection ends of the panels;wherein the connector biscuit provides a flush joint between the two panels;a third curved panel having a rectangular-shaped lateral profile, a third base end and a third connection end elevated above the third base end, the third curved panel defining a curvature matching a curvature of the first panel;a fourth curved panel having a rectangular-shaped lateral profile, a fourth base end and a fourth connection end elevated above the fourth base end, the fourth curved panel defining a curvature matching a curvature of the second panel;a second discrete fastener connecting the third and fourth panels at respective third and fourth connection ends, wherein, the third and fourth base ends are positioned adjacent the substrate surface and the fastened connection ends are elevated above the surface; andwherein the third panel is positioned adjacent the first panel and the fourth panel is positioned adjacent the second panel. 2. The building structure of claim 1, wherein the biscuit is bolted in place from the bottom side of the connection ends of the first and second panels. 3. The building structure of claim 1 further comprising a second section, the second section comprising: a third curved panel having a third base end and a third connection end elevated above the third base, the third curved panel including a curved molded fiberboard and defining a curvature matching a curvature of the first panel;a fourth curved panel having a fourth base end and a fourth connection end elevated above the fourth base, the fourth curved panel including a curved molded fiberboard and defining a curvature matching a curvature of the second panel;a discrete second fastener connecting the third and fourth panels at the respective third and fourth connection ends, wherein, the third and fourth base ends are positioned adjacent the substrate surface and the fastened connection ends are elevated above the surface; andwherein the third panel is positioned adjacent the first panel and the fourth panel is positioned adjacent the second panel. 4. The building structure of claim 3 further comprising a discrete third fastener connecting the first panel to the third panel. 5. The building structure of claim 3 further comprising a fourth discrete fastener connecting the second panel to the fourth panel. 6. The building structure of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of sections in addition to the first section, each of the plurality of sections comprising: a respective first section panel having a respective first section panel base end and a respective first section panel connection end, the respective first section panel defining a side profile corresponding to a side profile of the first curved panel of the first section;a respective second section panel having a respective second base end and a respective second connection end, the respective second section panel defining a side profile corresponding to a side profile of the second curved panel of the first section;wherein each respective first section panel is positioned adjacent at least one other of the first sections or adjacent the first curved panel, and each respective second section panel is positioned adjacent at least one other of the second sections or adjacent the second curved panel. 7. The building structure of claim 6, wherein the connected panels are aligned to create a plenum between the panels.
