No. I'm more annoyed by corners. They stagnate the air and collect dust and cobwebs. It's unhealthy and they muffle the sound.
I can't provide the citation at this time, but research at an East coast university showed a pavilion with a flat roof and windows on all four sides that need no heating or air conditioning. It's more than low-E, with electrochromic or cloud gel features.
Tempered glass vacuum blocks for structure like Bucky proposed in the 1930s. When I was in high school they had a traveling science presenter on stage in the gym, who used a glass flask to hammer a nail in a board. Then he dropped a tiny piece of pith into the neck of the flask and it imploded. If you could do that with a closed block that would be h*ll for stout. Maybe with lasers?
