I see a lot of criticisms by people with a long history of wood buildings(which burns), painted(which burns), wooden furniture with foam(which burns). Is this building made totally out of non combustable components which will not create toxic fumes if intentionally doused with gasoline. This means all furniture, floor covers, lights etc simply will not burn. Then they have sprinklers as well. Windows, Bill Gates has some rooms with no windows at all, but they do have huge screens on which lessons, movies, travelogs, and even the view from any place on the property at any time of day or date. How would you like to have a screen of a warm sunny day in June to look at on a dreary January day?

We have seen the result of aged construction codes unable to adapt to this modern age. This dorm looks to have been well thought out as an experimental future habitat, with fire safety and access thought out, exits, air exchange, heat exchange all dealt with adequately

It'd drive me nuts tbqh. Just one more way to become unhinged from reality.
