  Actually, I would tend to think that Droyne architecture would
  tend to triangles and hexagons in the plane (such as in the jump
  grid on their starships), and geodesic domes and icosahedra in
  threespace (the ships themselves, buildings, and so on).
  Structurally, this kind of construction minimizes material while
  maximizing strength and area/volume.  There is also the example
  of their own "rib" structure; I've read suggestions that body
  structure will have a large influence on the way that a species
  would "design" its environment.  Notice, for example, that the
  human rib cage is a series of arches, with the sternum as the
  "keystone" of the arch.

  Just flinging out random ideas...
