Bjarke Ingels Design philosophy is very pragmatic:
Architecture has been dominated by two opposing extremes “Eccentric curiosities” and “boring boxes”
Bjarke Ingels believes that there is a “third way” a “pragmatic utopian architecture”or as I understand it “Conscious Inspiration Architecture”

In This post I will try to demonstrate why I think BIG’s architecture is based on the principles of “conscious inspiration”

What did I learned from this post?
1.“conscious inspiration” is a pragmatic method that can lead us architects to be a successful firm.
2. “Eccentric curiosities” and “boring boxes” is out “pragmatic utopian architecture” is In.
3. “pragmatic utopian architecture” is designing according to the principles of The “conscious Inspiration Method”….“with the methodology of “conscious Inspiration” , we don’t need to be intimidated to get inspired from relevant buildings. Once we develop our tools, it will lead us to high quality and creative architecture”.

1 thought on “Bjarke Ingels Group – BIG…. “Pragmatic utopian architecture or “Conscious Inspiration” Architecture”
Wonderful blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thank you
