Design gives form to the future, says architect Bjarke Ingels. In this worldwide tour of his team's projects, journey to a waste-to-energy power plant (that doubles as an alpine ski slope) and the LEGO Home of the Brick in Denmark -- and catch a glimpse of cutting-edge flood resilience infrastructure in New York City as well as an ambitious plan to create floating, sustainable cities that are adapted to climate change.
In this talk, renowned speaker Bjarke Ingels, founder of BIG, will discuss contemporary architecture and will present compelling arguments for why it should resemble the architecture seen in the popular game Minecraft. The widely-played multi-platform game allows any player to create spaces and structures from scratch using a stackable square format, making it simple and stable. These are the principles upon which Bjarke bases his hypotheses and draws parallels with modern architecture.
