It took Charles Munger—a billionaire investor—a year and a half to come up with this configuration
If you lived here, you’d be home by now, waiting for the bathroom to open up. Photo: UC Santa Barbara Being really rich is awesome, and not enough really rich people do nutty things like create an island park or leave their money to dogs or fund college dorms on the condition they get to design them.
Not to be someone who actuallys Paul Goldberger, but prisons, as high-surveillance territories, tend to open onto long corridors and also have windows. Take a look at Sing Sing or other classic American penitentiaries, for instance. Munger instead describes its inspiration as nautical — “ship architecture on land.” He even designed portholes for the rooms, he told The Wall Street Journal back in 2019, except they’re just … lights.
Dormzilla was bizarre, everyone thought, even in the age of college’s capture by donors, until they found that the Journal had already done all the homework on Buffett’s buddy. The non-architect’s other, smaller work includes a graduate residence at the University of Michigan, which also largely eschewed windows. Its plan also groups people into little colonies — but in this instance, each bedroom has its own bathroom. So, really, it’s more hospital than prison.
1. The proposal has no car parking — none, zero, zilch accommodation for cars. But it does have parking for thousands of bikes. This dorm already outperforms 98 percent of all American housing. I will live in this dorm.
