Travis Scott and the Disdain for the Multidisciplinary

Last month, the rapper and producer Travis Scott did an interview with Rolling Stone in which he stated that he would “like to study architecture and engineering” due to a love of “spaces and experiences.” He then went on to note how cars, fashion, movies, and touring all inspire him in life and his creative work. He continued to say how it's cool to be able to "do renderings" but to actually have the knowledge to build something physical is a more refined and unique skill. I found this to be charming, and in his statements I sensed a possible affection for the late Virgil Abloh. Surprisingly, the comments on this video seem to lean more towards the negative, with the general attitude being skeptical on whether or not Travis could, or should actually go through the process to study Architecture. That skepticism is what I believe is wrong with our society today.
