I don't know for sure, but probably a little bit. I think the green movement has inspired more cupolas. Many of the nice looking contemporary commercial structures have been inspired by the green movement. They have gutters and rain catching systems on them and nice, big overhangs on the cupolas, and those are pretty good looking buildings. In residential buildings, there hasn't been that much change in the look of the homes. Now, in natural building, there's a big difference. Come and look at my straw built house in Travis Heights. It really stands out. I use all these funky elements. I try not to use sawn lumbers. I try to use natural round posts. I try to stay away from straight lines and follow nature as much as possible and use what's available. That's a whole other aesthetic that to me is just really stunning. There's so much more appeal there.
