I love the Venus project! Such a magnificent idea. However there's been a lot of controversy over the years about them milking money from their followers based on false promise. 
It's been many years since then discussion was brought to me I wish I could remember the details, but as and arch student what mattered to me most was the vision and and it's construction. 
I'm a little jealous you get to work with them, but I praise amidst that jealousy.
