Very Insightful. Smart Guy. And very inspiring.
i really like this guy! The group BIG is much better than Zaha Hadid…with her aleatory architecture.
he knows how to sell…
a true architect! He’s more successful than any starchitect in my book.
zumthor and olgiati are true architects
i think it’s hillarious that you would put zumthor and Valerio Olgiati’s name together, calling them true architects. Okay… Zumthor is a pritzker prize laurette, but Valerio Olgiati isn’t even on the radar for recognized work. So he may be famous in switzerland, big deal. When I see Olgiati give a presentation at TED i’ll shut my mouth.
I see Bjarke Ingels as a true architect because he is extremely talented in every aspect of the field. He can back his work up. He can talk to people about his projects in terms of reality, and his projects stretch the limits of what is possible in our field today. His buildings just make sense! He may not be doing anything specifically new. However, he is doing what a lot of architects simply aren’t, and should be.
Nice to see architects explaining their work. I learned a lot with you dude.
You cannot believe how this guy represents “new” approaches (comics, recycling projects…..) as his inventions like we didn’t see that in Koolhaas projects and SMLXL from 10-15 years ago. !!???
you should note, he worked for OMA before. It is not new ‘new’, but you can see how he took what he learned from OMA and re-invent it to his own.
Koolhaas designed a house, never built.
Instead, it was recycled to be a music hall, named Casa Da Musica.
we learned how to do a good architecture!!! a lesson!!!
p.s ( Bjarke, we want to see you in Brazil ok !! )
did he eat arnold schwarznegger
hahahahahah, morinaga, you deserve award for your comment; I knew he reminded me on somebody, also his pompous a.s.s.
A contemporary thinker …
Very nice presentation.
my god,,, a way to say “architecture has no future” :(
architecture. he designed a duck house that only became a duck house once he learned what a duck was. <–is that architecture? i suppose.
i want that t-shirt!
Incredible! Love it… good work!
Well, Bjarke has charisma and well suspended tongue, and skills. But he’s not the best architect in the world.
Some works are good and over that. But it’s very difficult to stay on that wave. As it was said earlier – he’s a good seller.
But some comments in his speech are ignorant.
Comparing China to Denmark e.t.c.
Will you please elaborate on that? How is that ignorant?
To simplify: He is going to China to make a presentation on Denmark. On that way, he must explore cultural (and other) differences and similarities if he is to be successful. What to show, what to accentuate….It all seems so logical, right?
architecture full of cheap simplified symbolism,
…
“a building that acts like a mountain” wtf??
…
Fashion architecture ..
Where is the ecology ?
only $$$$$$$$$$$$
Such a populist.. I really don’t agree with their way of designing.
It is so logical – that it is hardly logical at all..
All the cheeky jokes.. all the cheeky projects..
I wonder how many of their projects really work and have small or no problems..
Olgiati is teaching at harvard at the moment, he thaught at the AA in London, at the ETH and at the Academy of Architecture in Mendrisio. Just when we talk about “names” and “status”. By the way, he is on position 7 of the international architect-rankig-list of baunetz.de. But as we know, fame is not the stuff that defines a good architect, lets focus on his work.
B.I.G. is everywhere – and I think Bjarke Ingles and all his “fresh” and quick attitude towards everything is T.O.O.M.U.C.H.!
