Look at the screen shots
Wuxos,
I think if you get the schematic layout correct before you start anything else you will get it. Below is how I did it.
Schematic:
Draw up the overall plan view of the main elements, I elected to put the central hole at 45degrees to larger roof. Then draw straight line from A to b', then bend that line in an arc until the arc touches a'.
Polylines:
Use magic wand to make multiple offsets of the larger roof square. Then rotate each one using the center as rotation point, rotate until the corners touch the blue arc (A-b').
Meshes:
Create mesh as usual as if it were a site contour. This will go faster if you select the option "change all" when change the Z heights.
Then copy mesh, change layers, lower mesh2 a little bit, then use SEO to subtract Mesh2 form Mesh1, then hide layer containing mesh2.
Snap
Note: Still not what your prof is building, since he is using fixed size "bricks" his surfaces are warped. Curved in two planes and the degree of warpage increases as you near the top. So this is only an approximation. You could improve my version by increasing the height of the "contours" as you go up to the "chimney".
