I know a triangle is the stiffest structure, but....... 3 or 4 or even 6 sides, Has to sway unless all the building is under compression. Long stuff moves. Tall buildings have temperature differences and even at .001% coefficient of expansion at that distance something is going to be measureable. Might not noticeable wind sway.
