After music and fashion, Kim Kardashian’s husband is trying his hand at architecture via his new firm, YEEZY Home.

Does anybody else feel as though Kanye West has been taking daily strides toward being more like Donald Trump? The rapper, producer, designer, and issuer of crazy and disturbing contributions to social discourse recently announced his intention to get into architecture (via Twitter, the preferred platform for people who hate facts).

we’re starting a Yeezy architecture arm called Yeezy home. We’re looking for architects and industrial designers who want to make the world better

This new venture is a collaborative effort involving Petra Kustrin, Jalil Peraza, and Nejc Skufca, in addition to West, and being pursued under the auspices of YEEZY Home, whose prevailing aesthetic seems to be “futuristic prison colony.”

But maybe I’m thinking too small. This is Kanye West, after all. Based on the look of YEEZY Home’s corporate office, with interiors designed by Willo Perron — who described the aesthetic as “post-core as core” — it’s possible that West is looking not just to emulate his hero Donald Trump’s familial wealth-building via massive cookie-cutter housing development, but to be the developer of record for the forthcoming Trump dictatorship. “I’m going to be one of the biggest real estate developers of all time,” West said recently. “Like what Howard Hughes was to aircrafts and what Henry Ford was to cars.”

So don’t bother buying one of YEEZY Home’s elegant prefab cells; soon all free-thinking individuals will likely be shuttled off to live in a concrete box anyway.
