Bianca Censori is not a \u201cCollege Dropout.\u201d In fact, she has a master\u2019s degree in architecture, which she used to help destroy the work of one of the most important architects of the 20th century. The first extensive interview with Censori, the woman best known as Kanye West\u2019s naked wife<\/a>, was published today in Vanity Fair<\/a>, and in it, she defends gutting an iconic Malibu home designed by Pritzker Prize\u2013winner Tadao Ando. \u201c[Architects] have this idea of, \u2018Okay, once I have this home, and I\u2019ve handed it off to the client, it has to remain the same way as when I passed it off,\u2019\u2009\u201d Censori said. \u201cBut that\u2019s not how people use space. I think that the destruction of the home was beautiful to me, and I think symbolic also of that time.\u201d<\/p>\n The home is known as the Richard Sachs Residence and was built in 2013. After Ye bought the house in 2021, he and his architecture team, including Censori, ripped out large parts of Ando\u2019s design and got rid of the plumbing, windows, and doors. Then, once Ye was dropped by Adidas<\/a> for antisemitic comments and could no longer afford the place, they left it open to the elements. A representative for Ando told The New Yorker<\/a> that he \u201cdoes not like to talk much about the house in Malibu.\u201d<\/p>\n Censori, meanwhile, is fine with leaving the house at the mercy of the weather. \u201cThe thing about destruction is it gives life to something else,\u201d Censori said. \u201cSo when I would enter that house that was quote, unquote destroyed, bats were living inside of it, and the sea salt had taken over the steel that was in the house and was rusting.\u201d Expounding, she said that \u201ca tree is the shape of a tree, because that\u2019s what nature does or whatever.\u201d Well, some people still like bonsai<\/a>.<\/p>\n Related<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Loves nature.
