Droyne Architecture

- #5987 Droyne Architecture by Scott S. Kellogg
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...
