In presenting several current projects, Bjarke Ingels explores what he calls “hedonistic sustainability” and giving form to the future. He provides a holistic reordering of what the planet needs to create worldwide energy efficiency and then shows how his architectural projects work toward that end goal. Each project combines innovative materials and systems that also serve as visions that appeal to architectural aesthetic design.
