Hexagons are good because bees use them to make honeycomb. However we haven't seen many vernacular houses which are hexagonal. There is also a video here.

Some odd designs from theguardian newspaper...
By popular request, we include this article from the guardian newspaper. This article "Humanitarian intent: Urgent Architecture from ecohomes to shelters – in pictures" highlights some designs.
The Reaction Housing System has not been used in an emergency, but the designers say the shelters could be used in 10 or more types of emergency. they are not cheap at an estimated US$5,000.
This wheely good idea is actually designed for homeless people and not emergencies - so maybe a bit unfair to include here...
