In this week's comments update, readers are critiquing Kanye West's latest prototype for his low-cost housing for the homeless and sharing their views on other top stories.
Musician and designer Kanye West has posted a photo on Twitter showing numerous unfinished structures, described in the caption as YZY shelters.
Featuring wooden frames and domed metalwork they are the latest prototype for West's prefabricated, affordable housing for the homeless ? the musician's first architecture project.
"How will this proposal be affordable""
Dezeen commenters aren't impressed though. "I'm not sure a multi-millionaire understands 'affordable'," said Mark Younger.
Jonathan agreed: "If he wants to house the homeless ? I mean, really wants to house them, rather than using them for some vainglorious ego boost ? then he could quite easily do so in one of his many homes and and attached grounds." "Homeless people would prefer support to get access to conventional apartments rather than live in Star Wars village," added Davide.
"How will this proposal be affordable"" asked James Brian. "Reinforced concrete and curves are never an economical use of either materials or spatial efficiency when tight budgets and high volumes are required. Even harder to create in a prefabricated environment. I appreciate ambition, but only when it serves humanity and isn't self serving."
