Even ignoring all existing human objects, circles don’t tile. It’s fundamentally impossible to efficiently pack solids this way.

- readthenotes1 3y agoPeople don't tile well either. Perhaps there's an advantage to unused space
- c4mpute 3y agoPeople tile well in a circular tent. Fire in the middle, people lying around feet towards the fire, upper bodies and heads out. But almost nobody lives like that anymore.

- gnramires 3y agoI think non-tiling isn't always a bad feature! For example, you can use the spaces for ventilation (If we're imagining houses with non-tiling shapes) and light to shine through. Strictly you can always find complementary shapes to make non-single tiling tiles of course.
- dontlaugh 3y agoBut you can do the same in a space that does tile. You can simply choose to not fill some tiles.
