I went to novatek before he sold it, and was given a presentation on this project. It didn't seem complete, and there were many things that just didn't make sense. When other people I talked to explained that it was an effort to build a religeous utopia some of the stranger things made a little more sense, but still many of the choices he is making seem arbitrary and odd.
There was the main meeting building with movable floors and walls that were justified by the ability to use it as a chapel, and a gym, and that it could also be sectioned off into individual meeting rooms. The underground monorail system with individual autonomous cars is supposed to be the main transportation... No cars allowed. The size of the living quarters is very small. It's supposed to be all mixed use, with one main boulevard that all the shops are on. Living space would all be on level 2, and gardens on the top floor. Lots of farm area right out back, but communal.
It's odd, but if he's got the money to try it, more power to him.
