On volumes, I guess. And think about all the room space that becomes 
available: cities could be built much smaller ;-)

So, would that be called Complex Estate then, or Surreal Estate?

I would go for Hyper Estate ;-)

I'm not surprised by such things.

Things like one, two or tree steps inside a house are not uncommon, and 
some times intentional. I've also seen floors showing rather steep 
slopes, with very notable curves, and even un-planed waves about 60cm 
deep by 3~4m long (in a school built in the 60's)...

someone in my family who lived there for about 90 years. The ground 
settled unevenly.

Absolutely.

I have had an uncle living in a house which core dated back to the 
Middle Ages. There were lots of nooks and crannies, little steps up or 
down from one room or corridor to another, doors and ceilings of 
different heights, etc.

Thomas,
Great concept.
And the next dillemma: Addept the buildings to the terrain or vice versa. The
latter one sometimes called as  "site preparation"

Thanks. The former is already done by the code of course through the 
trace function, the latter would not be too difficult by using the Block 
object - which limits the urbanism - in a difference with the 
height_field. In that case, the Block object could also be made more 
interesting, with terraces for instance.

Good idea. :-)

I think with a difference you get black holes in your terrain, there must be a
more elegant solution.

Not in my experience. In the attached image the height_field has been 
differenced and shows the surrounding texture.

You're wright, I tried it with a isosurface and then you'll get the black holes.
