In case you've never heard of it: a shabono (which I spell "tcabono" in 
Lojban, same place structure as "zdani") is a round multifamily dwelling 
consisting of two walls, each almost a semicircle of the same circle, and a 
sloping roof which is wide enough to cover one room. There are two entrances, 
diametrically opposed. The courtyard may be used for keeping chickens, 
bicycles, or whatnot. It's a Yąnomamö word. People who live in shabonos have 
their lives open to neighbors and probably don't expect robberies to happen.

I'd like the neighborhoods to reflect architectures of diverse cultures around 
the world. Some architectures (such as nomad's tents) make no sense in the 
space station, but whatever does make sense is welcome.

The written description is in the Google Doc "Layout of Space Station", which 
you can get to by following a link from the root doc. The neighborhood plans 
are in a DXF file which I drew in Qcad. I also have Intellicad on a Windows box 
for my (nearly zero at this time) job, but didn't when I started drawing the 
space station map. Expect hiccups as we work out how to put the neighborhoods 
together.
