Here is an article claiming that a 2400 sqft "round" house (approx 28'
dia.) is more resistant to wind than a rectilinear (square or
rectangle) house.

1: The house in the picture isn't round, it's
an octagon, but mostly, the same principles apply.
2: Yes, given similar construction, the round house
should be more wind-resistant.
3: But not enough to matter. A box-shaped house
is more space efficient, and cheaper to build.
So if you're comparing PRICE instead of
construction technique, you're probably better
off with the box.
