Kanye West and Architecture

In my project 2 I randomly pick Kanye West as the representative of rappers, most of whom advocate on materialism, in the context of name change of PennDesign. Thanks to Sheryl and Anna's notice, I knew for the first time that West does have relationship with architecture and he's going into the affordable housing field.


The house is going to be built with construction involving prefabricated concrete components. The style resembles the same with Tadao Ando, the famous Japanese Architect who used to be a boxer.


I admire the social responsibility he displays in the decision, and his taste is good. Here's an interview on April 18, 2018 from Charlamagne where West talked about his mental condition, YEEZY home, Louis Vuitton, and how he views their relationship. They sat at the white YEEZY Studio and the conversation went in a calm and peaceful vibe. Due to the limit of length on video posted here, I can only share this short report from Clevver News. I strongly recommend you search for the full edition of the interview and get to know about this universe-renowned rapper, singer and designer.
