In this week's comments update, readers are horrified by the design for a windowless university dormitory and discussing other top stories.
Billionaire investor Charles Munger's design for Munger Hall, a student dormitory at the University of California, continues to spark debate this week.
The design for the building, which was informed by Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation, was designed to house over 4,000 students in windowless rooms and attracted criticism last week from readers who called it "inhumane".
Munger has since defended his vision for the building, saying "it will last as long as the pyramids" and that his idea to replace windows with virtual windows came from Disney Cruise ships.
"I'm horrified"
Commenters are furious. "I'm horrified," said Nivora. Stanley agreed: "In some jurisdictions, this would simply be illegal."
"As if a week-long holiday cruise is the same experience as three years minimum studying in college," continued Jack Melathass. "This should be illegal. If it passes, how long will it take for some other delusional 'philanthropist' to propose a similar design for low-income housing""
"The dorms look just like the dorms for the guards in Squid Game," concluded A Gil.
