I think it would be better to trace actual building outlines rather than 
generate generic placeholders from single nodes, better have fewer buildings 
but actually traced. Besides size there is also orientation and shape that 
matters for a good representation, as well as the relationship with surrounding 
buildings (attached or not, in line or not, etc.) neither of which can be 
captured with the procedure you describe. Imho you shouldn't do it.
