        And straight walls joining in 90° angles so that building it, setting furniture, and using the rooms is not a constant challenge for everybody's intellect.

        Maybe we can change the furnitures we used to own, there is no 90 degree straight walls in the nature.

        Only three regular polygons can be repeated filing a plane. Either using 60, 90, or 120° angles. 90 is best because it results in parallel & perpendicular lines, as usual coordinate axes. Nature produces many things, but humans beat nature in the ergonomy of produced things.

        I dont know maybe you are right, maybe 90 degree is best for maximizing the profit for a constuctor, maybe bees are right for the hexagonal rooms, maybe that computers are

        Bees have a very different use case for a number of reasons, including that they can walk up vertical walls.

        That reminds me of bee hive. They use hexagons to maximize space. Can we make enough change to make this happen?

        although this looks cool.. hard to make standard furniture for these rooms! We don’t just use perpendicular walls because we cannot think of other structures, it’s just very practical.
