It appears that Kanye West is attempting to marry his philanthropic spirit and love the iconic film franchise Star Wars (from an architectural standpoint).
In a recent Forbes interview with Senior Entertainment Editor Zack O’Malley Greenburg, the writer describes being taken to the future site of low-income housing inspired by the structures found on Tatooine — the sparse, two-mooned home planet of the original trilogy’s protagonist.

“Inspired by Luke Skywalker’s childhood home, West has been working with a team to design prefabricated structures that sport the same austere aesthetic,” Greenburg writes, describing a late-night L.A. jaunt to the site in Yeezy’s Lamborghini.
He then describes being taken into the woods to see what he describes as the skeletons of wooden spaceships.
“They’re the physical prototypes of his concept, each oblong and dozens of feet tall, and West leads me inside each one … he tells me they could be used as living spaces for the homeless, perhaps sunk into the ground with light filtering in through the top.“
This project is presumably the fruits of the architecture arm of Yeezy — Yeezy Home — that he describes back in May 2018, when he announced he was looking for architects.

Ye is one of my favorite people…but this is stupid….
The fact that he is one of your favorite people is also stupid.
Kanye more dope than you, bitch.
Actually it was aimed at you, this site is trash, oh well, Kanye is still more dope than you, bitch.
Kanye is extremely human. To enjoy his vibes may be stupid to you, but what’s your opinion worth? Nothing. I’d assume that Kanye has done a lot more good for the community and world than you have. If you have done more in your opinon, then please share! Until then, realize that someone who has helped more of humanity in life is worth more to the world than you are.
Who the hell puts a picture of themselves on this website lol? Your a weird looking man…
Why does not just by property and/or land?
He actually did. Not sure if he is going to place these on that land or other items from his brand
Sure Kanye, I guess… That must be the Skywalker Kush talking.
His heart seems like it’s in the right place…but this idea seems so damn stupid
you know what would actually help 1 million dollars, 50,000 $20000 pre fab railroad containers or similar with solar another million a few hundred-thousand acres
or 1 million dollars on free shoes

You’re very corny.
That shit was funny. You’re a nerd. And probably racist.
Pharrell is going to do a Star Trek one in VA. We’ll have Lord of the rings in Austin. We’re collectively on some Cosplay bullshit in this country anyways. I get the wave.
We seriously live in a world stupid enough to ask a millionaire with nothing but the taste for expensive outrageous shit to design a low income neighborhood? Congratulations world you got stupider today you know fuck the up and coming black architect with student loan debt who could have helped designed this and actualy started his future with it man this worlds gettin dumber
