windswept city

The strong, variable winds blow constantly, so the skins of the buildings are built of corrugated, hot-pressed banana leaves.  The buildings can sway and stretch with the winds.  No petroleum products needed.

Thank you Majesta. This was inspired by your description of a precariously leaning abandoned school house somewhere between your lake house and Drippin' Springs. Thanks for the inspiration.
