"Empathy is one of the greatest superpower......." Well said

[@albewillbuild]

Empathy is the greatest power that you can possess as a human being. There is strength in understanding an opposition. There is great power in patiently understanding the cries of a small child. There is strength in understanding the feelings of a woman. The most important form of empathy is the uninhibited understanding of yourself and how you can apply that power to benefit the world. This documentary was thoughtful and well produced. Thank you very much for creating it.

[@TheAbhi2112]

Thank you for writing this..!

[@genetung8590]

Yes. Emphatically yes. However, all is not good and the fight to overcome the evil is a never ending struggle. This is a fight that requires broad and committed strokes where empathy and humanity may be at times sacrificed for this greater good. This is happening NOW.

[@ronaldnapoleon5225]

i was actually moved by what he said, very interesting for this generation of very ectreme and one sided thinking.

[@JorisTillmans]

Super inspiring. Incredible choice of words, especially for a person with a non English background.

His presentation of the 8 House - manipulating space to show design - has remained one of my most watched videos. How you share your ideas can be as important as the ideas themselves.

[@Rafiq_Khawreen]

While watching him talking and pausing, and looking for proper words, I couldn't help thinking what if he were a philosopher? The way he speaks requires a very deep focus and ignoring the surrounding while diving into the deep ocean of your own thoughts and opinions. I have studied Political Science, and the reason I watched this interview was for the exceptional ability to speak I saw in this amazing guy.

[@dr-k1667]

I'm glad to have discovered this architect and look forward to discovering his work and following his career. Thank you for posting this interview.

[@studiocurtis]

A brilliant mind and a compassionate heart... a great combination. I'm grateful to see that his approach is succeeding in the architecture world. I appreciate his emphasis on empathy and his definition of architecture: "The art and science of accommodation."

I am so happy, that he achieved his mission to make every roof usable. Who of us do Not have this swears to ourself, what we are going to make when we grow up.

[@d.r.4640]

Really, really good. I particularly enjoyed the clarity and depth of thoughts and the logical arguments - great!

[@jamespatrickgrennan]

Wow! Completely self thought and now single handedly changing the discourse of architecture and teaching everybody that you can be so innovative and daring as to design the potential to walk or ski on roofs. All this genius in one man, and yet he is so humble and modest. What a brilliant person. Thanks so much for all you've done for architecture Bjarke.

[@vicbuehler9428]

Bjark, very profound comment at @ 29:00 that "buildings (substantial) should outlast their original purpose", thus be able to be re-purposed" for a future function, that is so true. It's what I deal with every day. Good bones with a good core. IBC, ADA done, established?

Scandinavian grasp of my language always impresses me. They speak it somewhat differently than I, however never sound foreign. It feels like english is something we share rather than something they borrowed.

Love it, buildings may not be scalable, but ideas are!

[@leiyang2445]

Bjarke gives us a good answer to solve the big problem that nobody is going to commission you to do a building before you already build a building.

[@urasg2613]

You can understand that he is actually considering a very wide range of topics when approaching his work: like environment, demographics, politics, science and language and many more, that have something to do with the people that inhabit his projects. That really takes to be curious about those things and take time to research them and be active in daily life.

[@Dev1nci]

24:44 I call this type of design ‘Brief Engineering’. It’s a classic Koolhaas strategy where you set up requirements for the building such that the outcome will yield an evocative design. This strategy allows the architect to claim that he is a functionalist. It can be effective however the pit-fall is that it can cost a city at the urban scale because the outcome will almost always be aggressively different to the context. This can be fine if the function of the building suggests communal landmark such as a library, however if the function is residential block, you have to ask the question- should someone’s home suggest landmark on an urban scale seeing as it is functionally, a landmark for relatively small numbers of city users.

He is definitely not a genius but he is a good salesman. If you talk about genius, Norman Foster achieve far greater in scale and in depth than Bjarke Engel. If you talks about depth, Mies Van Der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright or Louis Kahn should be someone to look up to.

[@tommyhf.l7880]

This was so motivational, I know what I have to do

[@sarkiss6569]

A driven man with broadminded views who conveys a level- headed understanding of the total picture although I don’t believe it translates that seamlessly well in the overhyped architecture he does along with his team of professionals - its basically good modern architecture with a certain twist. Also he seems enjoying the business side of architecture to a significant amount added that his appearance and personal charm combined with the great connections surely serves him well in current architecture industry. 😌

[@sarkiss6569]

Anyways if another architect would have a similar mindset to his but a different ethnicity I would assume with high probability that he/she would barely be taken seriously or even be given a fraction of the platform and the plethora of opportunities the media and the architecture community has bestowed on this being.

[@Jamesp1972]

As he mentioned understanding other people, despite you do not agree is the power to success.

Great lessons from a great mind. Thank you for this.

[@jackhubert]

In my humble opinion what architecture schooling has lost, and what most architects of today have failed to learn is this: what is beautiful. Does the design call forth our best? Does it emotionally elevate the humans who see and interact with it? This is a pillar for designing single-family homes, multi family development, religious institutions, government institutions, and communal/civic spaces. European architects of the 16th-19th centuries understood this well. I suppose we could use more masons, stone cutters, carpenters, and other craftsmen, that useless 4 year degrees?

many confused people throw around false equivalency by comparing pritzker prize to nobel prize. pritzker prize is just a vanity project and is a branding effort for wealthy pritzker family name. moreover, the prize committee is composed of mostly random buffoons who have not knowledge of building design and hence the prizes has no credibility. its akin to trash collector in nobel award selection committee making award for physics. architecture is a more a humanities degree than anything. most top tier us college or university do not offer this degree for a reason. harvard graduate design school has lot of people from second, third rate undergraduate schools because most kid smart enough to get into top tier schools are too intelligent to get into this non technical profession.

Beautiful, except he should've been "an angry young man" at some point in his life. Maybe then he would be preoccupied with the question who occupies the Via 57 West building in Manhattan, where units run from $3000 to $10000 a month. This is not a radical leftist critique, it's basic ethics. And also basic aesthetics. Architects are still nothing but beautiful theorists who build for the ugly/bored/uninteresting population of the rich.

Good design have a price. Great ideas make money. Arquitect is nothing without a good client. Welcome to the real world.

[@leocmen]

There are multiple dimensions/layers in your statement. Today, the human being does not have a clear understanding about the importance of Architecture. Therefore, I recommend you prudence when talking about this noble subject.The house is a third man's skin, after his clothes, and should be treated with its importance. I would say Architecture and Urbanism have the power to transform the mindset of the people, if properly understood and applied. Good Design, is simple and committed to solve problems therefore people should be lectured in Architecture and urbanism since the early years of the school. These 'Architects' you point, are not really concerned about the people, they are concerned about the capital and status and style of their "art" as vehicles of social differentiation and influence. However, there are Architects/Urbanists concerned about how to Design and Build for people. I recommend you to study the work of Jan Gehl and the intellectual combat between Jane Jacobs and Robert Moses.

[@MashaKanarchuk]
