We present Bjarke Ingels like you've never seen him. He turns 50 this year but he's far from done.
There is enough on his plate to suggest he will be one of the best remembered architects of his age. But all architects - no matter their successes - must grapple with the wider systemic failure at the planetary scale.
So what does Bjarke really think is the future of buildings and cities? What role will design play in solving the climate crisis?
