Kanye West is moving ahead with temporary prototypes for new age housing … housing that blurs the line between low, middle and high-income communities. He built the 4 dome-like structures on the 300 acres he owns in Calabasas, and his plan was to create a full housing complex on the site.

The idea is housing for the homeless and the inspiration was Star Wars. They look like the houses on Luke Skywalker’s planet Tatooine.
