Yes, if those figures are converted to USD (I presume so as they're using the '$' sign without specification?), then they are so manipulated as to be worthless.

I agree the formal implications are the interesting aspect. Creating an exactly equivalent design, with curved walls everywhere, would be phenomenally expensive with conventional practices.
- astrodust 10y agoIt's actually astonishing how much good concrete costs. You can barely fling $20 bills off a stack as fast as the truck is pouring $20 worth of concrete into your foundation.

- jacquesm 10y ago> Creating an exactly equivalent design, with curved walls everywhere, would be phenomenally expensive with conventional practices. You could easily make a house with round walls today if you wished to do so. But you wouldn't because you'd curse yourself every day when you want to place furniture and lay floor coverings. Curved spaces seem like a good idea until you actually try to use them.
- taneq 10y agoHell, even non-square spaces (or spaces composed of non-right angles) are a pain in the ass to effectively use. My old place had a main living area with a few 45 degree angles, and it really limited what you could do with it unless you were willing to lose several square meters of floor space.
