This inspires me so much to continue on with my landscaping dream. .. It gives me hope in this world, or I guess comfort in knowing that there are "steps" being taken for a future I could enjoy. ..
@@sweetfruit7769 I have to thank you since I had to revisit and re-watch and this video, just like I did 9 years ago when I posted my above comment (come to think of it, I've come a long way about this topic since then). But no, I wasn't trying to be sarcastic: I really do admire the power to convince with simple ideas.
@@gspahr thanks for the reply! "Making complex ideas sound simple" is great! But "making simple ideas sound complex" is the opposite That was the root of my confusion
I'm studying architecture and i must say Bjarke Ingels my primary inspiration and the best architect of our generation. In this current political and economical climate, we need great men and women like him to point us in the right direction (that "sustainability should bring pleasure not pain") I recommend to read his book, YES IS MORE.
I love this guy! Holy shit I'm glad he exists because now I don't feel the need to become an architect anymore because he's doing exactly what I would have tried to do.
I love this guy and his team. This... seeing these things come to fruition, among all of the terrible things happening, is what adds quality to my life.
@fifek kid you missed the point. Its sustainable in the since that they are eco-friendly designs because the minimize space needed to build it. They use sustainable as a synonym for healthy living
I cried out of joy seeing these genius projects! Humankind is capable of creating such remarkable master work, so why destroying each other?!? Bjarke Ingels is a visionary! Let's spread these concepts through the world!
True, some people think that enviromentalism and sustainable living is just to protect nature in itself. When it is mostly about protecting ourselves, if we keep on behaving like a bacterial colony we will end like one when the resources run out.
Now that I think about, why dont we already vent large CO2 producing industry to green house farms and let them scrub it for the O2 sending that out into the air. Imagine a power plant / farm that takes the waste and makes food and O2. something everyone needs.
If you can capture CO2 that way - why not turn it into a resource? How pure is the CO2? CO2 is used in all kinds of ways, not the least as botanical respiration
He should've publicly admitted the inspiration and clear influence of the late Viennese artist Hundertwasser - of Ingels so-called "Creating Eco-systems." He's not the originator of it, which some may get the impression by most of these talks? I hold it against him. Despite that, there's much to admire about B.I.
I have seen Switzerland and Denmark. Switzerland is preferable, enviromentally, socially and criminal statistics - plus the overall tax burden is less than 37%.
you have simple sizing issues - do you even realize how many thousands of tons of CO2 is produced by a medium sized powerplant creates, and how massive those glasshouses would have to be? By the way there is a better way - CO2 negative cement....(one that absorbs CO2 in being manufactured, not releasing it).
@LarsDPeterson So the guy forgot what 'essential' really means. Therefore what sustainability means. It bores me, can't you see that it's another postindustrial high-tec with green-coloured description of the project? Check the rest of his designs. Aggresive, arrogant cosumerism architecture.
