Aero engineers might be interested to know that aerodynamics applies to architecture.

I studied architecture (and still live) in a city that on one hand is a scale model of San Francisco (including earthquakes) with the wind of Chicago. It's no surprise watching this video to see the role that design for wind is such a consideration. My old architecture school has a wind tunnel too and I was surprised, running calculations for building structures as an undergrad, that keeping a roof up was less of a problem than keeping it from flying away.

By the way, the architecture practice covered in this video, SOM or Skidmore, Owings, and Merril, designed the USAF Academy Cadet Chapel. Some here might be familiar with it.
