"When you start your journey.. know what is important for you, even if you don't necessarily know where you're going. If you make the decision based on the things that matter to you, wherever you are going to end up, it's where you need to go." - Bjarke Ingels
This guy is a young architect who cares about environment, social, and cultural problems when designing, yet those problems don't affect on beauty in each of his design. Literally my role model in Architecture!
@@wunderwaffedg3jzify well here is a small list. Currently active architects: oma, piano, rcr, eisenman, herzogdemeuron, selgascano, 5n1ae, souto de Moura. And many other more. Contemporary architects:siza, Aalto, Wright, Corbusier, hejduk,nervi.... Modern: brunelleschi, Pietro da Cortona, Bramante, leon battista Alberti, and many more too. Architecture has a huge history.. Good luck.
I'm an incoming Architecture student in the University near us and this documentary and others speaches of Bjarke makes me more inspired enough to not limit myself in creating. Bjarke really my role model right now. Wish me luck on my journey.
I am a student of architecture, and he to me is one of the 4 people that I get inspired constantly and follow regularly in my field. Every line, space, structure and methodology that he incorporates is thought up so precisely that it just makes sense to even the easiest mind, this is why others are so frustrated with him and his amazing team, because it comes natural to him. Let us all cherish his ideas, learn and grow from it, not spread hate, and idiocraty. I would love to meet him and just see the brilliance that it makes him, so young, so famous, so smart.
I liked how this documentary started with talking about inception and dream.. and then ended up talking about dreams! Beautiful work. Made me fall in love with architecture
I was particularly inspired by Bjarke's Mountain Dwellings watching this episode. He really took "form follows function" to another level when he reimagined the orthogonal, symmetrical buildings we are so used to. YES IS MORE!
Thank you Netflix for putting this up and making it free to all. I first watched this in a STEM class at my school and just recently rediscovered it. Bjarke is a truly talented architect and his work exceptionally fascinates me.
These episodes are overwhelming.I appreciate every artists who are involved in the making and wanna thank them for putting these stuffs online.GREAT JOB!!
never knew how a documentary could open up my long lost love and aspirations for architecture and the built environment again, to this degree, with such an impact...wow
His architecture is fun, playful architecture not serious and boring. Somehow he always can find a way to combine fun, playful moments without sacrificing function.
Don't let other's sad negativity affect you bro. Your comment made me decide to put this on my watch list, I was hesitant at first. -from the land of happy people... the Philippines.
I just saw an Instagram post where the influencer was on one of his buildings. I had seen the Mountain before, briefly, on a web site, and thought it was stunning. This guy is giving communities, and seems to still be pretty down to earth and realizing he couldn't be where he is without his team behind him. Fantastic!
Please, please, please make another series of this. I’m glad you uploaded this on TH-cam, as I can’t comment how much I love it on Netflix. I’ve watched each episode so many times that I can quote lines from them.
As an architecture student, this documentary served as a fantastic introduction to Bjarke and BIG, The documentary discussed how Bjarke began his career in affordable housing, which I found fascinating, but I wished they had covered this in more depth. While it mentioned the apartment buildings he designed, I wanted to learn more about their financial impact on Copenhagen and how they influenced residents' quality of life. Overall, how have his buildings affected the quality of life for residents? I particularly appreciated the discussion on the importance of drawing from various disciplines to address the significant challenges of the 21st century. I believe we have the necessary tools and answers, and BIG is on the right path. The "Yes is More" and "Hedonistic Sustainability" messages resonate with me. They demonstrate that we can achieve both quality and sustainability. The idea that we can integrate practical solutions with aspirational goals is inspiring. Aligns with my own vision of how architecture can positively shape our world and solve its most pressing issues.
I am a second-year Architecture student, and honestly, I was thinking of giving up. I am so far from the stage I was hoping to be after 2 years of studying. My designs are not really clever and far from being imaginative, however, this documentary really woke my ambition again. It is trullly inspiring!
So good to see....building high quality architecture with low budget! More of this is required! Again, a very good part of the Abstract Series. Thank you for this.
Another amazing documentary with another amazing human being as subject! I love the the way he describes his projects. While he does it, it looks like he is in the building or like he IS the building itself. And the Inception accents throughout the video are so on point.💎
They act like repetition of parks on top of his buildings are bad when it’s earth we need to incorporate into innovative buildings replicate ‘earth’ onto our everyday lifestyle, this is his signature design that helps the earth re flourish!
dam we really live in a hateful critical world, reminds me of when I was designing in school .. I had these 2 teacher who would always say how horrible my work was and that it made no sense (i'm sure they just hated me for being different).. but then all the students loved it and could see the interpretation... don't listen to your teachers ... sometimes they don't see what you see.. and that doesn't make your work wrong, it just makes it different, my work was modern.. my teachers ideas or vision was not. I love this architect, I can see a lot of myself in him, very inspiring. Definitely need thick skin in the world of art and design.. we are surrounded by vultures and blind narrow-minded critics.
Yeah, at the end of the day, architecture is subjective. You change the teachers and can get a completely different result. Or in a competition, you change the jury and either win or lose. And that itself can get frustrating in the field because sometimes being labeled as good or bad it's based on luck.
Ideas are too ambitious but well what do you expect from one of the most innovative designers in the world. I love his concepts. A designer who values environment and appreciates simple things life has to offer. Such a promising one.
Bjarke Ingles is the one of great modern era architect who really cares about nature and environment. Without disturbing anything around him, and balancing the ecology. Letting nature to penitrate into our lives and connect with it. He also cares about it as what he have received should be paid back to it, so that the younger generation also can enjoy and feel blessed to live in such a wonderful earth. MAY GOD BLESS HIM WITH ALL THE POWER TO ONCE AGAIN MAKE THIS WORLD A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE ON, WITHOUT DISTURBING ITS CULTURE.
I live like 5 miles away from one of Eladio Dieste works, this dudes using him as inspiration being thousand of miles away makes me realize how we overlook our own architecture.
A great architect for sure an a fresh approach he has brought into the industry however only so many of us actually do become star architects where we are given free realm to explore and experiment whilst the majority of us will be restricted by a next to nothing budget, a demanding client and tonnes of code and this is just for a small residential accommodation. If the code and client do not change positively to encourage the architect to experiment, we will never have more clever and unique architecture in this world and most of it will be boring old architecture.
A O well he did drop out of school and experiment on his own. Starting an independent practice isn’t smth most people can or are willing to do. It’s like one of my favorite quotes “everything you ever wanted is on the other side of fear”. The quote might not be accurate but the world would be a very different place if more of the brilliant people living in it ditched their fears.
@@lefaek3720 Actually, fear is there for a reason. If everyone would ditch their fears, many people would get bankrupt or disappointed. Most of people are not enough risk-tolerant to do this, so it is natural that only some individuals are very successful. ,,Successful" in itself means ,,much better than others", which means most people must be ordinary, to make successful people exist.
I personally like it--it blows my mind--that somehow, when Chef Ramsey is not cooking, he is, deep down, more humane and humble that what meets the eye.
Mr. Ingels, your a very interesting man. Thank you for sharing the style of building and how it develops with character. Creativity paves the way for the new world.
Such an inspiration! Bjarke open a perspective for young people that we must not afraid by doing something that different from the society we live now. And surely, along watching this video what's make me questioning my self "how can he thinking so sharp bout that concept of his building?"
Director: "Do you dream of buildings?" Bjarke: "I never dream about my work actually. Interestingly enough." Director: "There goes the end of the documentary" *Closing* *Credits* Me: Didnt think he actually meant it LOL
20:59 This kid looks so mature lmao. Like she’s wise beyond her years. The facial expression she has gives of that of a 12 year old or something. So adorable.
Wow I almost forget about this person, after so many years working in architecture. I won so many huge projects but none of them have big concept like he does.
@@juanchurtado6213 well, my homework was about write in a document, what is the message, the tips, that is on the video, no about write the same things on the video, more like what I think about to be an architec and what do you need to be a great one
He's an inspiration . His way of thinking and creative solutions are just out of this world . It's our world and surely we humans have the possibility to change our dreams into reality 😍✨
A super-impressive architect / artist! I knew of the Via building in NYC, being a native New Yorker. Tho' I didn't know about the rest of them. What an incredible mind! Also the environmental awareness built into his projects is nothing short of amazing. 🎨🏢🌍🧡
Looks like he is gonna be my role model in Architecture, all the building hed been designed looks like had its own identity, just by looking at the building people immediately knew it was Bjarke design. love it! change people perspective about architecture especially the one who had conservative mind.
30:21 that mirror image laughing is just a genius move by the filmmakers. And then the doubling of pointing 38:36 is pointng back at himself from the project he just mentioned?
The single most blazing architectural talent in modern history. His work is as solid as those who have waited until their 80's to peak. No one else (Gehry & Hadid come closest) is near his realm of scale in realizing practical architectural conceptual works -and if there is, they work for him.
I used to like Bjarke before going to architecture school, but when I actually started studying architecture, nobody uses his works as precedents to take inspiration off or teach students about architecture principles
Because he’s among the most overrated architects to ever live. His designs are “fads” and as soon as the novelty of his “newness” wears off nobody cares about his designs.
I have no experience in architect school, but do they teach about influence from any architects prominent in the last decade or 2? Like learning in history class, they gloss over the last 20ish years.

boom
God damn it
This struck a chord with me. I teared up a little.
Great statement ❤
I loved that as well

Modernist architecture is eye cancer. Please learn study more about classical architecture.
The way he talks about architecture just draws me into architecture even more. And that's one of the things I like him the most.
I liked how this documentary started with talking about inception and dream.. and then ended up talking about dreams! Beautiful work. Made me fall in love with architecture
A matchless series. Thank you Netflix for making it available on here for free.
this documentary made me fall in love with architecture again!
Honestly same here 🙂😊
Prathma Metha, why did you don't love it back then?what caused it...
Now, that's a documentary. Props to the director and film crew. The "inception" reference was well played
Architecture and archi school can get so dry and boring but this guy never fails to spark my mind back into motivation of endless possibilities
I was particularly inspired by Bjarke's Mountain Dwellings watching this episode. He really took "form follows function" to another level when he reimagined the orthogonal, symmetrical buildings we are so used to. YES IS MORE!

"you never left the office?"
"heheh...... yeah............."
every architect's life summarized in 10 seconds
Lol 😆
It called the architect's crying laugh LOL
This is the kind of architect I want to be and it's amazing to have found someone who is living that dream making his dreams come true
It's amazing how reflective his designs are in every possible aspect.
Hahahaha 😂

This guy is giving communities, and seems to still be pretty down to earth and realizing he couldn't be where he is without his team behind him. Fantastic!
He asked the documentary to be like Inception and he got it!!
Very motivated architect. I really like his projects.
