Space Habitats
For a spinning gravity you really need the object to be mostly symmetrical around the axis it is spinning on. A lot depends on how the lighting is coming in too, whether we are artificially producing it by massive LED light bulbs or reflecting it through mirrors and fiber optics. I am not a big fan of if you got a strong material like diamond for the job because I feel that it wastes space but that's more of a personal opinion than an engineering flaw. We don't dwell too long on this as we have a dedicated episode for shellboards, even those with concentric layers and a whole episode on massive marine habitats including the hydro shell.
