The inherent genius of the tipi [teepee] is that it is a cone tilted toward the prevailing downwind direction. Augmented with sophisticated smoke flaps to control airflow through the interior.

Circular floorplans dominate low-energy building systems. Tipi dwellers describe the newbies houses as "a mountain with several caves in it".
