A 97 year old billionaire designed a single dorm building to house 4,500 students
I'm making a post about this because it's driving me wild that this project is seemingly actually being made.
Charlie Munger and UCSB want to cram 4,500 students into this building like sardines.
The tiny bedrooms in Munger Hall will not have windows which will lead to high depression rates and is a massive fire hazard, it's 11 stories tall right next to an airport, there is very little parking, and a fire department chief stated that they do not have the personnel to deal with a fire in a building this size (1.6 million square feet).
Architect Dennis McFadden quit the project because he felt it was so immoral, stating that the building would be "a social and psychological experiment with an unknown impact on the lives and personal development of the undergraduates the University serves."
The billionaire funding and doing a lot of design for this building is very close to Warren Buffett and has no formal training in architecture. He insists that his design be followed exactly as a condition for funding.
Details of this building's problems are under the cut.
this looks like someone went bonkers in the sims, the rooms don’t have windows, this is a corporate space from a surrealist science fiction dystopia
just thought you would all want to see the guy
