This is QUITE AMAZING! if architects were thoroughly aquainted with
the derivation (the real history) of structure, they would be full of
knowledge of the agricultural materials which form the basis for all
so called modern structural shapes, and would fall back easily into
thinking like this. alas, zoning laws in the US may be in the way of
much of this kind of thing.
