b) For an economical building design, which shape of rooms will give minimum linear meters of total walls length, as compare to any other room shapes of a building with same covered area?
Both questions are of same subject, may or may not have the same answer.
Any Architect is there in this forum, other than me?

a circle gives the most internal area for the least perimeter.
in terms of an economical shape in a building a square room will give the most area for least perimeter, you could use a circular room but it'd make for a very difficult building layout as round rooms don't ft together on plan like square ones would

should be a spherical room as this has the smallest surface area of any shape! not very practical though. probably for
'real life' answers it would be cylindrical!
not an architect but very good with maths!
hope this helps
