I like the idea. Feed 600 people permanently plus the constructions workers. Now that's a good deed.
And push the boundaries of architecture while doing so! All in all a good deal
I don't see this as any more hubristic as building a sprawling mansion, which is far less eco friendly and urbanisitc.

It seems to me like a waste of a good idea. Why wasn't this sort of innovative design used to benefit the public, like in a museum for instance? Frankly I'm disgusted that he'd put all that money into THIS monstrosity instead of helping others.
