I thought it was funny. The reason I posted it was the novelty of a house that conforms to Thee Template.

What they learned with ships was round hulls are hard to steer. Same would go for a house tracking the wind, not enough fineness ratio.

And don't leave you car halfway out of the garage like that!

Not everyone has a 360° view.

Here's a tower that has motors to actively turn it into the wind:

It turns out the low bidder on the thrust bearing the whole building rests on was from Nigeria.
