Kanye West’s prefabricated affordable Yeezy Home units take inspiration from the Star Wars films and might be used as underground homeless housing.

The celebrity musician revealed the prototypes for his first foray into architecture as part of a cover interview with Forbes.

West said he had taken aesthetic cues from the houses designed for the desert planet of Tatooine, the home of Luke and Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars series.

Kanye West的預製經濟實惠的Yeezy Home單元從星球大戰電影中汲取靈感,可能被用作地下無家可歸者的住房。

這位名人音樂家在首次涉足建築領域時展示了這些原型作為福布斯封面採訪的一部分。

韋斯特說,他曾為星球大戰系列中的盧克和阿納金天行者的家鄉塔圖因的沙漠星球設計的房屋採取了美學線索。

There have been no photos released of the structures yet, but Forbes reported that the three prototypes are “oblong and dozens of feet tall”.

These prefabricated units, West suggested, could be sunk into the ground with a lightwell carved into the top and used as housing for the homeless.

Shot on location in the Tunisian desert, Tatooine’s set design featured earthen houses with domed cupolas. The sunken homes are similar to the housing complexes of the Berbers of Matmata, Tunisia, who sink their homes in pits to keep them cool and cave-like.

目前還沒有發布這些結構的照片,但福布斯報導說這三個原型是“橢圓形,幾十英尺高”。

West建議,這些預製單元可以沉入地下,並在頂部雕刻一個光井,用作無家可歸者的住房。

塔圖因的設計設計在突尼斯沙漠中拍攝,設有帶圓頂圓頂的土製房屋。 沉沒的房屋類似於突尼斯的馬爾馬塔柏柏爾(Berbers of Matmata)的住宅區,他們將自己的房屋沉入坑中以保持涼爽和洞穴狀。

West announced Yeezy Home in 2018 via Twitter, where he put out a call for architects and industrial designers to join him on the project and “make the world better”.

The units will be prefabricated to keep costs down and be used as low-income housing or, as West suggested, as accommodation for homeless people.

Fashion designer Jalil Peraza, who has worked with West before, revealed renders of the Yeezy Home project on Instagram soon after it was announced, but the posts have since been deleted.

West於2018年通過Twitter宣布了Yeezy Home,在那裡他呼籲建築師和工業設計師加入他的項目並“讓世界變得更美好”。

這些單位將預製,以降低成本,並用作低收入住房,或西方建議,作為無家可歸者的住宿。

之前曾與West合作的時裝設計師Jalil Peraza在宣布後不久就在Instagram上發布了Yeezy Home項目,但這些帖子已被刪除。

The Forbes interview with West also revealed information about his Los Angeles mansion, which has alabaster walls and Belgian plaster flooring that requires specialists to be flown in from Europe to repair any scuffs.

West, who started his career as a rapper, has been vocal about his passion for architecture over the years.

In a radio interview in 2013 he said he was working with architects to learn more about the process, and during a visit to Harvard University that year he told students that the world could be saved through design.

“福布斯”對West的採訪也透露了他的洛杉磯豪宅的信息,該豪宅有雪花石膏牆和比利時石膏地板,需要專家從歐洲飛來修理任何磨損。

作為說唱歌手開始職業生涯的韋斯特多年來一直對他對建築的熱情發聲。

在2013年的一次電台採訪中,他說他正在與建築師合作,以了解更多有關這一過程的信息,並在那年訪問哈佛大學時告訴學生,世界可以通過設計得到拯救。
