See "Instant Emergency Shelter, Just Add Water".

Cement canvas. Any shape bag made of hardening fabric can be inflate until set.

This is old technology with a lazy twist that may garner interest. Tvo used to write about it from time to time. It is similar to ferrocement.

Add final mortar/stucco layer with color if desired. Any shape is possible.
