Bjarke is the current talk in architecture for his outlandish and sustainable designs. Most architects would only dream of having their initial, creative conceptual ideas taken to construction but the reality is, there are issues of funding, policy, planning permission, client preference and so forth.
However, Ingels marches right through these concerns, not allowing them to hold him back. From watching some of his interviews, his ego is ever present but this is arguable justifiable not only because of his current fame in architecture but his relentless ability to drive his designs right through the RIBA phases.
His contribution to the ACE industry:
Hedonistic Sustainability is a term he coined together which aims to make the idea of sustainability more approachable to everyone. Bjarke’s aim was to prove that design can be made economically profitable and environmentally sustainable.
Bjarke urges people to stop thinking about buildings as masses or structures, but instead as ecosystems that we thrive in.
Bigamy- Instead of remaining faithful to a single idea, Bjarke urges designers to connect more than one idea together to collectively create what is most desired.
This new genre of architecture, Bjarke believes, can turn pure fiction into hard facts. Meaning whatever you dream of can be a reality. He takes multiple elements that might not seem to fit together and puts them together.
His determination and change-maker attitude is an inspiration for graduates entering the industry.
A weird dream is crystallized into concrete reality
