'3 Warp Speed Architecture Tales' ¬
2009-10-01
Bjarke Ingels flies through three stories of beautiful architectural designs during his 2009 TED Talk. I’m in awe of the apartment building with inbuilt parking (the second story) where all the apartments have southern exposure. Especially:
And the facade of the parking, we wanted to make the parking naturally ventilated. So we needed to perforate it. And we discovered that by controlling the size of the holes we could actually turn the entire facade into a gigantic, naturally ventilated, rasterized image. and since we always refer to the project as The Mountain, we commissioned this Japanese Himalaya photographer to give us this beautiful photo of Mount Everest, making the entire building a 3,000 square meter artwork.
I love the fact that they, “cut up the volume, so [they] wouldn’t block the view from [his] apartment.” How frequently do architects consider what the view is like from the surrounding buildings? It feels like the majority believe people will be gratified that they’re looking at the masterpiece in front of them.
