Wow, this talk with Bjarke Ingels really resonates with everything we explore on my Building Green podcast. I love how he talks about ‘hedonistic sustainability’... The idea that sustainable buildings shouldn’t just be good for the planet, but should actually make our lives better and more fun! I mean, turning a power plant into a ski slope or reimagining the Brooklyn Bridge as a public space instead of just for cars? That’s exactly the kind of outside-the-box thinking we need. It’s a reminder that sustainability can be exciting, and not just about ticking boxes.
All the projects were amazing, the last one is extremely poignant. It shows you thank the people who make key infrastructure decsions make them beholden to car culture and not pedestrian and people freindly. Great job.
Why pay rent right? The real reason to be not paying rent is to be under the surface of the water though. Life on the surface is not all that it's cracked up to be. There are many benefits to being below the surface and you don't have to be far below the surface to get there. I'm not just speaking about residing and speaking about why float solar for example why not have it below the surface? Being slightly below the surface the dress is things like wind. we know that the windmills the general Electric helps to put on the shore of North America not just when no companies getting away with this everywhere ignores the obvious which is that there's also a light and floating solar needs those poles more than the windmills do. So these synergies continue to be ignored. Now I have the Toyota founders responding to my comments fairly regularly on this medium and elsewhere LOL. They like to say okay when I say do this you know when I say compete or die they like to say okay. But there are many areas in the world where we are proceeding because of the marketing pitch instead of doing any research any diligence at all whatsoever it can't be overstated. First of all is there a surplus of electricity on this planet and in fact in every first world nation is there a surplus of electricity the answer to that question is beyond dispute. When it comes to the solar electricity when it comes to foldable tank electricity do we have more production than we have the man for any sort of electricity and again the answer is in the affirmative because what we are using electricity for to justify additional electricity production like always which is the game of the electric grid and now this game is being perpetrated with a production technology for which The upfront cost is significantly higher than almost any other type of production even nuclear. when you are talking about high up front costs for harnessing energy for harvesting energy the absence of any training floor whatsoever for energy becomes to me and apparently almost nobody else maybe nobody else but me prominent. So people want to argue about facts like whether there's any training for for energy. There isn't but energy itself is negotiated if you look at the intercountry liquid methane contracts because not all methane has the same heating capacity it is indexed by the heating capacity not by the weight or the volume. It's not about metric or English it's about the energy. When you look at the history of gaslighting which is a different use for gas than heating the gas that was being engineered was engineered to light not to heat and people have forget about this. People buy gasoline and they care about octane the people forget that if you're going to use fuel cells you going to want different gas than if you're going to use furnaces. Now I'm against resistive heating especially of domestic hot water and then against on demand the use of fuel cells for DSW because again you have to have the man for the generated dhw electricity. there are people like the Green tech media who say that Bloom energy should have been called out sooner you say that light cell energy was a scam. Yeah that's what the guy jumping off the Golden gate bridge can say because nobody is going to make him suffer he's not going to have to eat humble pie. But for the ongoing concerns in the world including the people if you consider the people in ongoing concern and I do then it's very different we have scientific truth we have reproducibility and other aspects of verifying the hypothesis. We see actions without hypothesizing occurring. And so the question of the lack of the trading floor which means no futures no options no long-term crowd harnessing of judgment no efficiency that markets create and specifically derivatives and such on steroids we know some of the facts China is getting tremendous revenue in the production of solar electricity. People focusing upon how it seems to be cheaper over decades like anybody else is selling electricity up front pay now enjoy it over decades.. this is not an artificial or natural monopoly instead history is very clear again I'd appreciate it people would stop arguing over facts the seller for the will take market is the engineered competition to the fossil fuel market engineered by then come then fossil fuel still performing wonderfully protecting the fossil fuel market because it grows the demand market as fast as it interferes with the revenue of the incumbent and it maximizes profit kind of like Amazon asking Federal Express to deliver at a loss the packages. Federal Express said no but the world doesn't say no to things like windmills without floating solar or submerged solar or any number of schemes not well intended.. basically not considered. It would be a compliment in other words to call it ill. It's just not considered. The expression ill considered let's call that a cliche. Let's avoid the cliche because the cliche is not just tired but it's an understatement. Another cliche is something can't be overstated. I don't mind using that cliche because I've said some things about and I have failed to overstate them. Any questions? Maybe you can help me come closer to overstating it or prove that isn't possible or even give me the opportunity to do the impossible and overstate what should be but isn't obvious. Photovoltaic electricity is chasing a non-existent market. The alternative to electric motors is to use mental heat more cost effectively. Now this typing of mental when I say mantle is an opportunity for emphasis instead of just wasting my time correcting the dictation because everybody isn't being mental when it comes to being smart. Most people don't even think about the word mantle much less say it. Everybody say it! It's spelled actually pretty simply with an a and an e on the end. The l doesn't have any before it sounds like it does but that's what the beauty of the tea before it does and the e after it. Okay all together m a n t l e. It's actually a short walk down. It's free the heat that's there nobody has bought it. We buy mineral rights but we don't buy energy rights. Instead we give them away to windmills which prevents I guess the mantle heat that might be harvested from competing with the fossil fuels? I mean general Electric makes all kinds of balance of system costs as do most of the sustainability companies that are destroying

Always a great inspiration for all architects, thanks Bjarke !
Toyota proposal just blew my mind!
always pushing the boundaries!!!
This was really good thanks so much x

Es uno de los mejores arquitectos de este siglo; muy innovador y creativo.
Felicitaciones!!!
All the projects were amazing, the last one is extremely poignant. It shows you thank the people who make key infrastructure decsions make them beholden to car culture and not pedestrian and people freindly. Great job.
woww , that's some goooodddd animation!!!
Inspirational personality...Bjarke injels
As a new yorker, I approve
Great works!💯
