  • Unless you’re talking about a really big span – and usually we’re not, since even open floor plan houses tend to be long in only one direction – it’s not that big a difference. A little bit of extra wood for beams and columns is cheap compared to the overall cost of the building.

    Retrofitting an open floor plan on a building that wasn’t initially designed that way is expensive, of course, but that’s a different thing.

    Considering how much humans are attracted to aliens (both depicted in-universe, e.g. Kirk and green women, and IRL, e.g. female fans having the hots for Leonard Nimoy as Spock), nope, I don’t find it odd at all. Let’s be honest: it’s really just the writers projecting humanity’s own proclivities on the aliens anyway.
