Now, that's a documentary. Props to the director and film crew. The "inception" reference was well played

[@princesjecyvheldeleon475]

The way he talks about architecture just draws me into architecture even more. And that's one of the things I like him the most.

[@colorfullconcerto]

The director deserves a standing ovation as well.

[@dennynikaj]

I am a student of architecture, and he to me is one of the 4 people that I get inspired constantly and follow regularly in my field. Every line, space, structure and methodology that he incorporates is thought up so precisely that it just makes sense to even the easiest mind, this is why others are so frustrated with him and his amazing team, because it comes natural to him. Let us all cherish his ideas, learn and grow from it, not spread hate, and idiocraty. I would love to meet him and just see the brilliance that it makes him, so young, so famous, so smart.

[@ms.redtery143]

I'm an incoming Architecture student in the University near us and this documentary and others speaches of Bjarke makes me more inspired enough to not limit myself in creating. Bjarke really my role model right now. Wish me luck on my journey.

I liked how this documentary started with talking about inception and dream.. and then ended up talking about dreams! Beautiful work. Made me fall in love with architecture

[@NAZZBASHA]

Architecture and archi school can get so dry and boring but this guy never fails to spark my mind back into motivation of endless possibilities

[@EasyArchitecturalTheory]

I was particularly inspired by Bjarke's Mountain Dwellings watching this episode. He really took "form follows function" to another level when he reimagined the orthogonal, symmetrical buildings we are so used to. YES IS MORE!

His architecture is fun, playful architecture not serious and boring. Somehow he always can find a way to combine fun, playful moments without sacrificing function.

[@j_swensy]

Thank you Netflix for putting this up and making it free to all. I first watched this in a STEM class at my school and just recently rediscovered it. Bjarke is a truly talented architect and his work exceptionally fascinates me.

[@mmendi1114]

never knew how a documentary could open up my long lost love and aspirations for architecture and the built environment again, to this degree, with such an impact...wow

[@lcm4546]

Another amazing documentary with another amazing human being as subject! I love the the way he describes his projects. While he does it, it looks like he is in the building or like he IS the building itself. And the Inception accents throughout the video are so on point.💎

I just saw an Instagram post where the influencer was on one of his buildings. I had seen the Mountain before, briefly, on a web site, and thought it was stunning. This guy is giving communities, and seems to still be pretty down to earth and realizing he couldn't be where he is without his team behind him. Fantastic!

Bjarke Ingles is the one of great modern era architect who really cares about nature and environment. Without disturbing anything around him, and balancing the ecology. Letting nature to penitrate into our lives and connect with it. He also cares about it as what he have received should be paid back to it, so that the younger generation also can enjoy and feel blessed to live in such a wonderful earth. MAY GOD BLESS HIM WITH ALL THE POWER TO ONCE AGAIN MAKE THIS WORLD A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE ON, WITHOUT DISTURBING ITS CULTURE.

[@MotivationHaus]

dam we really live in a hateful critical world, reminds me of when I was designing in school .. I had these 2 teacher who would always say how horrible my work was and that it made no sense (i'm sure they just hated me for being different).. but then all the students loved it and could see the interpretation... don't listen to your teachers ... sometimes they don't see what you see.. and that doesn't make your work wrong, it just makes it different, my work was modern.. my teachers ideas or vision was not. I love this architect, I can see a lot of myself in him, very inspiring. Definitely need thick skin in the world of art and design.. we are surrounded by vultures and blind narrow-minded critics.

[@davidva8028]

Yeah, at the end of the day, architecture is subjective. You change the teachers and can get a completely different result. Or in a competition, you change the jury and either win or lose. And that itself can get frustrating in the field because sometimes being labeled as good or bad it's based on luck.

[@jackhubert]

I like your teachers.

[@kirubelabebe315]

I always admired this architect.

[@AA-nf2pl]

A great architect for sure an a fresh approach he has brought into the industry however only so many of us actually do become star architects where we are given free realm to explore and experiment whilst the majority of us will be restricted by a next to nothing budget, a demanding client and tonnes of code and this is just for a small residential accommodation. If the code and client do not change positively to encourage the architect to experiment, we will never have more clever and unique architecture in this world and most of it will be boring old architecture.

[@lefaek3720]

A O well he did drop out of school and experiment on his own. Starting an independent practice isn’t smth most people can or are willing to do. It’s like one of my favorite quotes “everything you ever wanted is on the other side of fear”. The quote might not be accurate but the world would be a very different place if more of the brilliant people living in it ditched their fears.

[@cytrynowy_melon6604]

@@lefaek3720 Actually, fear is there for a reason. If everyone would ditch their fears, many people would get bankrupt or disappointed. Most of people are not enough risk-tolerant to do this, so it is natural that only some individuals are very successful. ,,Successful" in itself means ,,much better than others", which means most people must be ordinary, to make successful people exist.

[@cumuluseremiel1209]

​@@lefaek3720 because dropping out means you have no degree, hence in most countries it would be illegal to practice in your field
