- Renowned Danish architect Bjarke Ingels here offers his architectural advice to aspiring architects and explains why architecture is fundamentally important for the world we live in.
Bjarke Ingels is considered one of the greatest architects of our time, with projects such as the BIG U, which contains a plan to fortify the whole south tip of Manhattan against future storms and rising sea levels. His architectural vision evolves around a philosophy that could be described as a pragmatic utopianism, combining everyday needs with sustainable solutions to the climatic challenges.
We live in the anthropogenic age, where humans don’t adapt to life, but life adapts to human needs, Ingels explains, which makes his advice to young architects designing tomorrow’s world simple and clear. The key for young architects is to acquire the tools and language to comprehend the human needs outside of the architectural bubble, and understand that they are here to accommodate - and not to be accommodated.
Bjarke Ingels (born 1974) is a renowned Danish architect and founding partner of BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group located in Copenhagen and New York. In 2013 BIG was chosen to redesign the Smithsonian, the world’s largest museum and research complex in Washington, a project which will be implemented over a period of 20 years. His projects include The Mountain, a residential complex in Copenhagen, and the innovative Danish Maritime Museum in Elsinore. In 2004 he received the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale and the Danish Crown Prince’s Culture Prize in 2011. Moreover, BIG received Architizer’s Firm of the Year Award in 2014.
Bjarke Ingels was interviewed by Kasper Bech Dyg in New York in December 2014.

Summary:
1) Important thing for the young architect is to care for the people they are designing for. A good design is a careful design and a bad design is a careless design.
2) Architecture is the Art and Science of accommodating life.
3) Young architect should learn the tools and languages to interact with Common people
jawad ali shah thank you
BOOM "We're not here to build for other architects" and many other words of wisdom from Bjarke Ingels
Oh my god....what a revelation. Thats is just pure genius. Is design theory and Architecture and building theory that out of whack, that this is considered some supreme wisdom.
Aside from the actual content of Ingels' monologue I thoroughly enjoy hearing him speak in a rhythm that reminds me of Bjork's speech patterns. Those wonderful pauses as they both think about what they are about to say in English (not their native tongue).
Bjarke Ingels is what an architect should be..He is compassionate about his client,work and world as a whole. Would love to work with him for one of my future projects.
"You have to care" and "We (architects) are here to build for all of human kind". He is very focused on the "user". Brilliant speach - I must hear it again soon
and usually build for eternity, wich is an important maxime as well.
I'm so thankful for his ideology and his architectural philosophy. it's heady inspiration and at the same time so, so humbling.
Great video, thank you for sharing! Some thoughtful advice for the next generation of Spatial influencers. Keep the great content up.
I could listen to this guy for hours..
Such an amazing person and architect!
Bjarke has an amazing mind!
Interesting speech as always. I like that Bjarke is theoretically pretty adept as well. Just a wee corection...species also optimise their niche, they are simply adapting, they are adapting the context as well. Beavers are ecosystem engineers for instance.
My favourite Architect 👍👍👍
I am in love with the map
I just got myself an architect crush
+chaErtai752 haha same here!
He looks like a bird.
Architecture means a lot of work hard & it goes from hard to harder but yes once you get in that then you will really enjoyed.
So much hope
Interesting...eye and mind opening!!!
siempre un placer escucharlo hablar
The utmost important question running through my mind is: "Did Bjarke Ingels quote Spider Man on purpose?"
If so... I feel even more curious about him.
BIG creates really some of the most innovative projects of our time... Thanks for some advice!
With great power comes great responsibility.
this dude speaks so fast hahaha i literally made the speed .75x hahahah but really love this guy he really speaks from his experiences and not to impress.
Great content!
what a brain he has
scarf = architect
#style
the architect uniform: all black clothes and a scarf
Scarf = the new 'statement glasses'
No, it's just a little Hygge (pronounced hue-guh not hoo-gah).
Oke the architect uniform = scraf, full black and circle glasess
Hello There. I want to say I'm watching this in 2021 cause i noticed that this vedio was released 6yrs ago in2015 😃
inspiring one
genius architect..
seeing the big picture
Build for all humanity and build for eternity - but also give back to nature, society and the world, the space the building is placed on. Those are the highest maxime of any structure.
6:25 Let's quote Uncle Ben
good sir
6:26 Quote from Spider Man
dude his hands are huge!
See you soon.
Architecture embodies a people's values, wisdom, mythos, technical knowledge, and distinct culture. It embodies the human soul itself with zero hyperbole. Architecture can/should act as a tool for the spiritual ascension of a people, and as a means to raise their base standard of living. The most important thing you can do is to know and develop yourself, and build upon your knowledge and wisdom - only then will you be able to see the world as it can be, as it ought to be, and begin designing it accordingly. Bit deep... but if you're an architect, then at the very least just design something that inspires people and makes their lives easier. Also, don't be afraid to demolish a beloved dump (cough cough medieval Paris cough cough). Everything can be better. Everything.
First principles
I am wondering whether the architects are truly preparing for global warming effects. Coastal projects seem to not be directly concerned yet.
Actually Bjarke is. Check out what he is planning to do in NYC's waterfront.
Take look at the map behind , what do you see ? Well i am depressed.....
all his buildings remind me of cemeteries
Every thing and every word seems to be philosophical when you are earning handsome amount.Actually only then you can afford to exhibit your diversity
Neither the Buddha nor Mahatma Gandhi were earning handsome amounts but the world listened to them, to their ideologies and philosophies :)

I am going to be an architect. But i only fear about this career being boring at a time.
We have plenty of videos with some of the worlds best architects sharing advice and ideas. Maybe you'll be inspired!
Have a look here: czcams.com/play/PLQjV1I6Kfcoeq-vwiacIYJCMG58IksVcs.html
I think its just the state of modern architecture, glass towers and replica modern apartment buildings with no style are rife. seems like architects are restricted from interacting with the pulic, people like old architecture for its balance and proportions not cus its old. The complete lack of symmetry is baffling and must only come from minimising costs.
Elon Musk watch out.
apples and oranges
For sure!
Vishal Thakur still fruit. Two geniuses, different fields.
too much philosophy in my opinion...i understand he is an icon so forgive me if you are a huge fan of him the person reading this
Why do you find that there's too much philosophy?
No real techniques of urban planning shown
Aybek Ogobaev I don't think you are even watching to the title of this video. I'll repeat it here again
Bjarke Ingels: Advice to the Young.
He is not going to explain the techniques to design architecture but just advice. And i believe the urban planning shown just a background.
Philosophy is phylosophy...dualism, Aristotel and etc. Urban plannig must include first of all knowledge and understanding of coommercial part of city and city laws. All over it - making fancy one day decicions. *flies away
your right to think so...*flies away on a bird
Kids give ''advice to the Young''?
he is 41
He became known worldwide in such a young age
talking, talking, but not able to say much...
Like a lot architectural discourses, this is a mix of inspirational grandstanding and word salad. Sometimes I wish architects would talk less and just keep designing.
If he designed the whole time during this interview, this wouldn't be an interview.
This is not a presentation of his design process and solutions. He has to answer the questions at hand.
This is literally a video where he was asked to give his opinion. Why did you even click on this
