I'm also going to assume that (if you are referring to circular columns) that this is a Feng Shui related issue (having worked on designs myself and learning that circular shapes in dwellings are a no-no in certain cultural dispensation.)

Regardless with a design of this sort it's doubtful they'd have any columns that are circular either, and most architects in Vancouver are aware of this
"concern" enough that they'll avoid using having them if they can get away with it, given the effect that these sort of things have on marketability.

In certain cases you simply can not avoid having them - especially if the structural engineer says so.

I think she may mean these columns:
