I don't quite understand why a void inside the
gigantic sculpture is any different to the void inside
the big rectangular box.  I see lots of wasted space
inside rectilinear buildings ... so why pick on
Frank's non-rectilinear buildings from that aspect.

I walk down lots of long and winding corridors in
rectilinear buildings ... and follow tortuous routes
to reach my destination.  Yet these things function as
buildings in your language?
