When I was a child, I had all of these dreams and ideas that I wanted to create, but I thought there was nobody that actually did these kinds of things. in this world we are so skeptical about if something can be or not be done that we don't even take the chance of failure and don' try to reach your dreams. Videos like this are creating a much better environment for the world, where we go out to create our own dreams. This is why I want to be an architect.
Don't stop dreaming, we need big imaginations in Architecture! It's sad to see people get lazy and just accept design rules instead of questioning and reexamining them
Greyso, STOP letting abstract and fictional ideas stop you. You think it, you put it on paper, put it in digital form and keep looking on ways on how to make it actual. When you finish, you go show some Architects or create an exhibition like an Artist. JUST DO IT!
I started playing Minecraft in 2010 on architecture servers, today in 2020 I’m a junior working for his degree in Architecture and Architectural Engineering at CU, thank you Minecraft 👍🏼
I’ve been playing Minecraft since I was 10, and still do to this day at 18 years old. I’ve spend these past years making multiple cities and experimenting with the craziest building and urban planning designs. My biggest project yet it a world I have been working on for 5 years now. It covers a little over 1 million square blocks, and is a world where I experiment with building designs and the layouts of neighbourhoods (parks, highways, building zoning, public transit,…). I believe that this game has extreme potential to influence design in the future. I actually want to become an architect because of this game.
I study Architecture and am not far from getting my Licence in the next few years. As a kid I was obsessed with Minecraft. Apart from designing on paper and MS Paint back then, Minecraft served as a CAD any kid could use to unlock their creative mind.
When I was little, I made all these drawings about all these houses, I would look out the window and look at all the buildings I saw, I went to open houses with my mom, I built many buildings on Minecraft and Bloxburg, I started to realize that there is a possibility that buildings can reflect art and new worlds, instead of just familiar day to day life and blandness. The fact that I have a chance to create those new forms of art, and to create new worlds within buildings so unique that you question if this is real life, this makes me excited to be an architect.
I admire him too because of his ability to express the things he's seeing in his head and put them into words and into architecture. It's just so inspiring
As an architect, I agree with everything that was said. Speaking of Minecraft, I would add, that we should have more modular solutions (we partially have it wit BIM), concepts that can be merged (similar to what was explained in the video) but also replicated, scaled and spread more easy, so that - for example - every city has a power plant that does something awesome/unique.
This is why Ingels' buildings are so much more interesting than some other starchitects. He is looking to science and urbanism and human desire for design inspiration and not just expressing a personal ego-driven architecture brand.
@@architecturecodex9818 bjarke is very much pursuing an ego-driven architecture brand. his brand is an architecture derived from simplistic pictograms. the built works are low quality, badly detailed, some floor plans are just plain bad. it doesnt really matter, as the long shot pictures that resemble the pictos are everything that matters for big. he is by far not the only one guilty of having an architecture brand, but he stands out in producing architecture that is easy enough to understand in one image, usability and spacial quality are much less of a concern. visit 8house, visit the lokschuppen in basel if you can, find out how nice it is irl. i used to be a fan of course as well.
minecraft is crafting dream worlds and inhabiting them through play, architecture for him is the same but in the real world. The example he uses was the powerplant+ski run marriage of ideas. i think its a very strong link.
Mau Lop We learned to innovate there needs to be no limit in ideation. I feel like this is what could happen quickly if you add someone focused on realisation.
Perhaps when the rest of the world finally catches up to the quality of life of Northern Europe, there will be jobs for this kind of architect again. In the meanwhile, we're gonna be building a whole lot more boxes.
Northern Europe is not needed for quality or architecture. You are forgetting American architecture (namely, Usonia, and the Prairie School), Japanese and Chinese architecture, and more. Of course, Canada, America, and Australia are some of the best places in the world for quality of life and have some of the greatest architecture. But, you are fairly correct.

I actually like modern architecture. It is simple. It may be boring but knowing basic color theory can turn a home to pleasing atmosphere. Technically minimalism at its finest. Less stuff = more space= less stress
10 Unbelievable Houses In The World Have you ever wanted to own a million-dollar home? How about a home that’s worth a whopping quarter of a billion dollars? Yes, we said BILLION! So sit back, relax, and enjoy as we take a look at 10 Most Insane Houses in The World. here : ua-cam.com/video/ZkOGBS7Xktg/v-deo.html
Im danish myself, and I dream of having a medieval style house, but I also love the modern interesting designs, Im just sad to see so little of them. This video is super inspiring, I love it ^_^
Love the video ... Very inspiring ... And didn't ever know that architecture has been contributing in this manner to the society and to this world .. oh yeah it is 'WORLD CRAFT' ...👏
an architecture student here from 2nd year, i am someone who loves architecture but when it comes to designing and thinking i feel like i lose my abilities, i get anxious and i get blank on how do i even begin analysing my site and then i look at other people's work i just cant help but think of everything i left out on and it just makes me feel extremely stupid
I don't believe in this guy's theory or vision for architecture because architects can dream as much as they like and create these fabulous creations only for the client and local councils to bring them back to reality and strip the soul out of these designs. The reason why we have boring buildings everywhere is that we have uncreative people (clients, councils, codes) telling creative people (architects) what to do and how to do it to a certain extent. I'm a practicing architect in Sydney Australia and every time I try and push the boundaries with my residential designs, clients often don't see it as I do because they've looked at a display home and can't think outside the box and then if the proposal does make it past the clients, the councils give you hell over approving your design but would much rather approve a boring design that is like every second home. This is the biggest frustration of being an architect hence why I think this guy's theory does not work.
I imagine a future where AI becomes powerful enough to do most of the heavy lifting in architecture design, letting amateur creators make buildings in a similar way to how they would create in a game like Minecraft or Besiege (albeit a bit more advanced, think Shenzhen I/O in terms of level of intellectual commitment rather than Minecraft). The AI would set up rules that adhere to reality, and it would notice weak points and suggest various fixes, suggest solutions for plumbing and heating, and almost everything else that today needs to be carefully planned by a human with a thorough education in architecture design. Through advanced AI we could essentially gamify the process of designing a real, functional building. We could even take it a step further and use the technology for city planning with realistic simulations of traffic flow, economic and ecological impact etc. If we make the creation of solutions to our problems more accessible, we get so many more possible amazing, creative solutions. And with a wider set of solutions, it should become so much easier to discover the best possible ones, especially if you can keep metrics on things like cost, environmental impact, estimated build time etc. You could even let people work on each others designs, letting the community improve them little by little as a collective effort to improve efficiency, functionality. aesthetics and so on. I sincerely believe (and hope) that this is what the future holds.
Hello! 🙋♀️ Bjarke, I love you young man. When Can I live one of those Lego community in suburban of US? I need a small independent house living but connected with others for active retirees. Why not build house 6D instead of 4D just like Bee house? It’ll give more light and space in my opinion.🤷♀️ You’re so talented and you have a beautiful mind! Thank you! God bless!♥️🙏.
I wonder if his geography has an effect on his ability to think as he does. Im not being judgmental but the architects in the U.S. who are in his range haven't become as popular- to me.
Creo que es la primer vez en mi vida que me he emocionado viendo como alguien habla sobre la arquitectura, solo puedo dar gracias de que exista gente como Bjarke. Gracias.

Great design often cost about the same as bad designs... and thats not considering the impact bad designs can have on human well-being and the environment. Good designers take budget, occupant well-being, the environment, and many other relevant elements into consideration in order to reach a holistic solution.
Maybe they can pull this off in some cultures, but the three I'm familiar with only dream and talk of these things. In Canada, not enough doers, in the USA, too many doers, not enough dreamers, and in Costa Rica, not motivated, yet. "Only exhaust from energy plant is Steam and Co2" ?
You can diss the game all you want, but it's ability to create is the only reason i play it at 17 and it's the only reason I'm taking architecture at University next year.
+Kes Cholo And money is right there, at my reach, and yours. To think "realistically" is what's killing architecture. Which is what the entire video is about.
Not having a proper plan which takes into account not only living but also outdoor and environmental situations is actually more expensive down the road...
That's Funny I love playing Minecraft the Building side of it is SoO Good for the imagination and I'm wanting to be an Architect so maybe I could use this for my interview for I'm older P.S Thanks for this really inspirational vid
TheOfficialWillyHam I know you posted this a year ago, but you should check out Abstract on netflix. He did a full 45 minute movie that essentially expands on this one
His comment about the fantastical building style of the past is totally wrong. Castles were extremely purpose built and held function far above form, in fact it's kind of amazing that he doesn't know this, being an architect and all. The reason they look strange today is because they had design goals and technological limitations totally alien to what we have today. Well, that and the misconstruction of history that this guy is so willing to participate in. Also there is literally nothing wrong with traditional building, reevaluate your priorities and spend your career working on things that will actually make a difference before making a video like this
Sentimental background music always makes the speaker seem so full of himself... I mean he could also sit next to a chimney with a glass of cognac, it's as pretentious as that.
Angie Monge Still pretentious, the world is not as simple as shown here. About 80% of all videos on design are in the same style. Long camera takes, sentimental music, minimalist optic. Instead of just delivering their message, they always have to bloat things up to a new age kind of thing, which is a bit annoying
+DallasGreen123 I have to agree, this is one of the things I don't like about architecture videos. There seems to be a lack of "raw" fun and creativity.
DallasGreen123 . I agree. The 'spicing' and warping of reality is really frustrating. It can come across as condescending to people that are actually interested in the the content. (My opinion, the intention may be very different). Really great concepts and it would be awesome to have the privilege of experiencing that architecture in Denmark.

I admire him too because of his ability to express the things he's seeing in his head and put them into words and into architecture. It's just so inspiring

DallasGreen123 . I agree. The 'spicing' and warping of reality is really frustrating. It can come across as condescending to people that are actually interested in the the content. (My opinion, the intention may be very different).
Really great concepts and it would be awesome to have the privilege of experiencing that architecture in Denmark.
Inspiring ♥️
