        This is bullshit. They gave the genetic algorithm a bad fitness function and it optimized it as given. Add a need for windows, proximity of certain offices/gym/band room, drinking fountains -- represent the problem well and the algorithm will deliver a good solution.

        Yeah it's still cool regardless. Maybe add some ceiling windows and it'd be fine at least in the sunlight department?

        Well yes actually, a Voronoi school could be kind of fun, maybe you would learn something interesting wandering through other kids' classes on the way to your own. I'm not against it as a design, it is just an ignorant way to put down GA's.

        And having remodeled a geodesic dome, I totally don't believe material usage is optimized given that the waste due to non-dimensional lumber/angles/etc would be larger than usual.
