Bjarke Ingels is by far the most innovative architect in the world. I’m being subtle when I say that his ideas for sustainable architecture are absolutely dazzling, not because they’re “ideas” but because his projects are being built.

I’m staying in Copenhagen right now, right near the The Mountain apartments and the Figure 8 condos, which he introduces in the beginning of the talk. Both buildings are magnificent spectacles (though, to be honest, I think they’re slightly out of place). 

In this video Ingels walks through a few projects. The crown jewel comes in at around the 10 minute mark. I can’t even describe the project but assure you it will blow your mind.
