BIG BIG BIG

The previous post feature the "Mountain Building" by Bjarke Ingle of Bjarke Ingle Group (BIG). As his firm name suggests, he is one of the BIG time starchitect in the making if he is not already yet.
When he came down to KL for Architecture Forum, he received an overwhelming applause, partly due to his cool, 'I don't take myself too seriously', outlook, which i guess is very appealing to young designers' (mis)conception of the uber cool profession of architect. Which reminds me of what my ex-boss told us, after the forum - they (these uber cool architects)make a very small percentage of the architecture fraternity. Well, there is no harm done wanting to be in that small percentage.

Below is his talk in Ideas Festival 2008
