Interview with Bjarke Ingels on a design for WTC. It is not a secret for anyone that I am neither impartial nor objective when it comes to BIG work – I love BIG by default – and the more I dig into their projects I feel that the coolest part of BIG work is their playfulness paired with a cool idea., but mainly playfulness, otherwise, how would you explain those cubes with gardens stacked on one another facing Tribeca?
I am a big fan of a Danish architectural firm BIG headed by Bjarke Ingels. Needless to say, I follow their work and read their interviews. Recently, while reading up on their new book ” HOT TO COLD, an odyssey of architectural adaptation” I made another discovery – Stefan Sagmeister! The man is a graphic designer and a partner at “Sagmeister & Walsh” which worked on a design of “Hot to Cold” book.
I start googling Sagmeister’s work and reading his interviews. Just like every encounter in life is to teach us something, one specific interview I read was like a guidance from above and an answer to my questions.
