ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Bjarke Ingels - Architect
Theory meets pragmatism meets optimism in Bjarke Ingels' architecture. His big-think approach is informed by a hands-on, ground-up understanding of the needs of a building's occupants and surroundings.

Why you should listen

Bjarke Ingels is principal of BIG, based in Copenhagen. An alumnus of Rem Koolhaas' OMA practice, Ingels takes a similar approach: experimenting with pure space, but never losing sight of the building as a solution to a real-world problem. His manifesto "Yes Is More" takes the form of a giant cartoon strip, 130 meters long, that reminds people to keep thinking big -- to see all our modern problems as challenges that inspire us. (The manifesto is now available in comic-book form.)

His deeply-thought-out and often rather large works -- including several skyscrapers and mixed-use projects in a developing section of Copenhagen, plus a project for a new commercial harbor-island --  work to bring coherence to the urban fabric and to help their occupants and users lead better lives. His most famous works include: the Stavanger Concert House, Tallinn’s city hall and the VM Houses. He recently won a competition to design Copenhagen’s waste-to-energy plant with a design that will place a ski slope on top of the structure.

The public上市 debate辯論 about architecture建築
0
0
2000
有關建築的公眾議題
00:14
quite相當 often經常 just stays入住 on contemplating考慮 the final最後 result結果,
1
2000
4000
常常只注重最後的結果
00:18
the architectural建築的 object目的.
2
6000
2000
也就是建築物本身
00:20
Is the latest最新 tower in London倫敦
3
8000
3000
人們會問,倫敦最新的大樓
00:23
a gherkin黃瓜之一種 or a sausage香腸
4
11000
2000
是根小黃瓜、香腸
00:25
or a sex性別 tool工具?
5
13000
2000
還是情趣用品?
00:27
So recently最近, we asked ourselves我們自己
6
15000
3000
所以最近我們自問
00:30
if we could invent發明 a format格式
7
18000
2000
是否可以發明一種形式
00:32
that could actually其實 tell the stories故事 behind背後 the projects項目,
8
20000
3000
來講解這些案子背後的故事
00:35
maybe combining結合 images圖片 and drawings圖紙 and words
9
23000
3000
圖文並茂地
00:38
to actually其實 sort分類 of tell stories故事 about architecture建築.
10
26000
4000
述說建築的故事
00:42
And we discovered發現 that we didn't have to invent發明 it,
11
30000
3000
後來我們發現我們根本不需要發明
00:45
it already已經 existed存在 in the form形成 of a comic滑稽 book.
12
33000
4000
只要用漫畫的方式說故事就可以了
00:49
So we basically基本上 copied複製 the format格式 of the comic滑稽 book
13
37000
3000
於是我們使用漫畫的形式
00:52
to actually其實 tell the stories故事 of behind背後 the scenes場景,
14
40000
2000
來述說這些背後的故事
00:54
how our projects項目 actually其實 evolve發展 through通過 adaptation適應
15
42000
3000
我們的建築計畫是如何從現實生活中的
00:57
and improvisation即興.
16
45000
2000
混亂和機會
00:59
Sort分類 of through通過 the turmoil動盪 and the opportunities機會
17
47000
2000
經過適應來演化
01:01
and the incidents事故 of the real真實 world世界.
18
49000
3000
和創新
01:04
We call this comic滑稽 book "Yes is More,"
19
52000
2000
我們將這本漫畫命名為“是就是多“
01:06
which哪一個 is obviously明顯 a sort分類 of evolution演化 of the ideas思路 of some of our heroes英雄.
20
54000
4000
很明顯地,這是從一些英雄的點子演化而來
01:10
In this case案件 it's Mies密斯 van麵包車 derDER Rohe's德羅的 Less is More.
21
58000
3000
路威.密斯凡德羅一句”少就是多“
01:13
He triggered觸發 the modernist現代主義 revolution革命.
22
61000
2000
帶來了現代主義的革命
01:15
After him followed其次 the post-modern後現代 counter-revolution反革命,
23
63000
3000
在他之後有對抗現代主義的後現代主義
01:18
Robert羅伯特 Venturi文丘裡 saying, "Less is a bore."
24
66000
3000
Robert Venturi 的”少就是無聊“
01:21
After him, Philip菲利普 Johnson約翰遜 sort分類 of introduced介紹
25
69000
2000
在他之後 Philip Johnson 則介紹了
01:23
(Laughter笑聲)
26
71000
1000
(笑聲)
01:24
you could say promiscuity濫交, or at least最小 openness透明度
27
72000
2000
你可以用”我是個蕩婦“來形容這種混亂
01:26
to new ideas思路 with, "I am a whore妓女."
28
74000
2000
至少是對新想法的開放態度
01:28
Recently最近, Obama奧巴馬 has introduced介紹 optimism樂觀
29
76000
3000
歐巴馬為我們帶來了樂觀主義
01:31
at a sort分類 of time of global全球 financial金融 crisis危機.
30
79000
3000
在這個全球都陷入經濟危機的時刻
01:34
And what we'd星期三 like to say with "Yes is More"
31
82000
2000
當我們說”是就是多“的時候
01:36
is basically基本上 trying to question this idea理念
32
84000
3000
基本上是為了挑戰
01:39
that the architectural建築的 avant-garde前衛 is almost幾乎 always negatively defined定義,
33
87000
3000
前衛建築總是在對抗著誰
01:42
as who or what we are against反對.
34
90000
2000
或是什麼的想法
01:44
The cliche陳詞濫調 of the radical激進 architect建築師
35
92000
2000
對於激進建築的老調看法
01:46
is the sort分類 of angry憤怒 young年輕 man rebelling反叛 against反對 the establishment編制.
36
94000
4000
不過是憤怒的年輕人反抗現狀
01:50
Or this idea理念 of the misunderstood誤解 genius天才,
37
98000
3000
這種,不被瞭解的天才
01:53
frustrated受挫 that the world世界 doesn't fit適合 in with his or her ideas思路.
38
101000
4000
為了世界無法接受他或她的想法而失落沮喪
01:57
Rather than revolution革命, we're much more interested有興趣 in evolution演化,
39
105000
4000
但與其要談革命,我們對“演化”更有興趣
02:01
this idea理念 that things gradually逐漸 evolve發展
40
109000
2000
萬物靠著適應和創新
02:03
by adapting適應 and improvising即興
41
111000
2000
逐漸演化
02:05
to the changes變化 of the world世界.
42
113000
2000
來改變世界
02:07
In fact事實, I actually其實 think that Darwin達爾文 is one of the people
43
115000
3000
事實上,我認為達爾文是最能
02:10
who best最好 explains說明 our design設計 process處理.
44
118000
3000
解釋我們的設計過程的人
02:13
His famous著名 evolutionary發展的 tree
45
121000
2000
他名聞遐邇的演化樹
02:15
could almost幾乎 be a diagram of the way we work.
46
123000
2000
能作為解釋我們工作形態的圖表
02:17
As you can see, a project項目 evolves演變 through通過
47
125000
2000
如你所見,一個計畫經過一代代的
02:19
a series系列 of generations of design設計 meetings會議.
48
127000
3000
設計會議演化而成
02:22
At each meeting會議, there's way too many許多 ideas思路.
49
130000
3000
在每個會議中每個人都有自己的想法
02:25
Only the best最好 ones那些 can survive生存.
50
133000
2000
但只有最好的能夠勝出
02:27
And through通過 a process處理 of architectural建築的 selection選擇,
51
135000
2000
經過選擇建築的過程
02:29
we might威力 choose選擇 a really beautiful美麗 model模型
52
137000
3000
我們選擇的可能是一個最美麗的模型
02:32
or we might威力 have a very functional實用 model模型.
53
140000
2000
或是一個最實際的模型
02:34
We mate伴侶 them. They have sort分類 of mutant突變體 offspring子孫.
54
142000
3000
我們組合它們,產生一些突變的結果
02:37
And through通過 these sort分類 of generations of design設計 meetings會議
55
145000
3000
經過代代演進的設計會議
02:40
we arrive到達 at a design設計.
56
148000
2000
我們來到了最後的設計方案
02:42
A very literal文字 way of showing展示 it is a project項目 we did
57
150000
2000
讓我直接的用我們為哥本哈根的一個圖書館
02:44
for a library圖書館 and a hotel旅館 in Copenhagen哥本哈根.
58
152000
3000
和旅館所做的項目來作為例子
02:47
The design設計 process處理 was really tough強硬,
59
155000
3000
設計的過程非常艱苦
02:50
almost幾乎 like a struggle鬥爭 for survival生存,
60
158000
2000
幾乎像是為生存掙扎
02:52
but gradually逐漸 an idea理念 evolved進化:
61
160000
3000
但漸漸地,一個方案演化了出來
02:55
this sort分類 of idea理念 of a rational合理的 tower
62
163000
2000
它是一個旋轉的大樓
02:57
that melts熔體 together一起 with the surrounding周圍 city,
63
165000
2000
和周圍的城市融合在一起
02:59
sort分類 of expanding擴大 the public上市 space空間 onto what we refer參考 to as
64
167000
3000
擴大了周圍的公眾空間
03:02
a Scandinavian斯堪的納維亞 version of the Spanish西班牙語 Steps腳步 in Rome羅馬,
65
170000
4000
像是北歐版本的羅馬西班牙階梯
03:06
but sort分類 of public上市 on the outside, as well as on the inside,
66
174000
3000
不過不止外面是公眾空間,裏面也是公眾可以使用的
03:09
with the library圖書館.
67
177000
2000
圖書館
03:11
But Darwin達爾文 doesn't only explain說明 the evolution演化 of a single idea理念.
68
179000
3000
但達爾文的演化論裏面還說到
03:14
As you can see, sometimes有時 a subspecies亞種 branches分支機構 off.
69
182000
4000
有時候這些變種產生了一些分支
03:18
And quite相當 often經常 we sit in a design設計 meeting會議
70
186000
2000
很多時候我們坐在一個設計會議裏
03:20
and we discover發現 that there is this great idea理念.
71
188000
2000
然後我們發現有個很好的點子
03:22
It doesn't really work in this context上下文.
72
190000
2000
卻不是很適合當時的狀況
03:24
But for another另一個 client客戶 in another另一個 culture文化,
73
192000
2000
但對於來自于其他文化的另一個客戶
03:26
it could really be the right answer回答 to a different不同 question.
74
194000
3000
的另一個問題,卻很有可能是對的答案
03:29
So as a result結果, we never throw anything out.
75
197000
3000
結果是,我們保留所有東西
03:32
We keep our office辦公室 almost幾乎 like an archive檔案
76
200000
2000
讓我們的辦公室變成了一個
03:34
of architectural建築的 biodiversity生物多樣性.
77
202000
3000
建築生物多樣性的檔案館
03:37
You never know when you might威力 need it.
78
205000
2000
你永遠不知道它們什麼時候會派上用場
03:39
And what I'd like to do now, in an act法案 of
79
207000
2000
我現在要做的是
03:41
warp-speed神速 storytelling評書,
80
209000
2000
以飛快的速度
03:43
is tell the story故事 of how two projects項目 evolved進化
81
211000
4000
告訴你們兩個專案是如何演進
03:47
by adapting適應 and improvising即興
82
215000
2000
隨著這個世界發生的事情
03:49
to the happenstance偶然 of the world世界.
83
217000
3000
適應和創新
03:52
The first story故事 starts啟動 last year when we went to Shanghai上海
84
220000
2000
第一個故事從去年我們到上海去開始
03:54
to do the competition競爭 for the Danish丹麥
85
222000
2000
為丹麥在 2010 世界博覽會
03:56
National國民 Pavilion for the World世界 Expo世博會 in 2010.
86
224000
3000
國家展覽館的項目比賽
03:59
And we saw this guy, Haibao海寶.
87
227000
3000
當我們見到上海世博的吉祥物
04:02
He's the mascot吉祥物 of the expo博覽會,
88
230000
2000
海寶
04:04
and he looks容貌 strangely奇怪 familiar.
89
232000
3000
我們覺得它看起來很面熟
04:07
In fact事實 he looked看著 like a building建造 we had designed設計
90
235000
2000
事實上它看起來就像我們之前設計的一個建築
04:09
for a hotel旅館 in the north of Sweden瑞典.
91
237000
3000
為了瑞典北部的一個旅館
04:12
When we submitted提交 it for the Swedish瑞典 competition競爭 we thought
92
240000
2000
當我們把這個項目送往瑞典的時候我們認為
04:14
it was a really cool scheme方案, but it didn't exactly究竟
93
242000
2000
那是一個很酷的設計,但看上去
04:16
look like something from the north of Sweden瑞典.
94
244000
2000
卻似乎不屬於瑞典北部
04:18
The Swedish瑞典 jury陪審團 didn't think so either. So we lost丟失.
95
246000
4000
瑞典的評審也不這麼認為,於是我們落選了
04:22
But then we had a meeting會議 with a Chinese中文 businessman商人
96
250000
2000
但後來我們見到一位中國商人
04:24
who saw our design設計 and said,
97
252000
2000
他看著我們的設計,說
04:26
"Wow, that's the Chinese中文 character字符 for the word 'people'人.'"
98
254000
3000
“哇,這不是我們的”人“字嗎?”
04:29
(Laughter笑聲)
99
257000
2000
(笑聲)
04:31
So, apparently顯然地 this is how you write "people,"
100
259000
2000
顯然這就是中國字“人”的寫法
04:33
as in the People's人們 Republic共和國 of China中國.
101
261000
2000
在中國
04:35
We even double checked檢查.
102
263000
2000
我們甚至再次確認了一次
04:37
And at the same相同 time, we got invited邀請 to exhibit展示
103
265000
2000
同時,我們也被邀請到
04:39
at the Shanghai上海 Creative創作的 Industry行業 Week.
104
267000
2000
上海創意產業周去參展
04:41
So we thought like, this is too much of an opportunity機會,
105
269000
3000
於是我們想,這是個天大的好機會
04:44
so we hired僱用 a feng shui風水 master.
106
272000
2000
於是我們請了一個風水師
04:46
We scaled縮放 the building建造 up three times to Chinese中文 proportions比例,
107
274000
3000
把建築變大三倍,變成中國的比例
04:49
and went to China中國.
108
277000
3000
然後出發去中國
04:52
(Laughter笑聲)
109
280000
3000
(笑聲)
04:55
So the People's人們 Building建造, as we called it.
110
283000
2000
我們叫他“人大廈”
04:57
This is our two interpreters口譯, sort分類 of reading the architecture建築.
111
285000
4000
這是我們的口譯員,正在解讀建築
05:01
It went on the cover of the Wen溫家寶 Wei Po newspaper報紙,
112
289000
2000
它上了文匯報頭版
05:03
which哪一個 got Mr先生. Liangyu良玉 Chen, the mayor市長 of Shanghai上海,
113
291000
3000
吸引了上海市長陳良宇
05:06
to visit訪問 the exhibition展覽.
114
294000
2000
來參觀展覽
05:08
And we had the chance機會 to explain說明 the project項目.
115
296000
2000
讓我們有機會為他解說
05:10
And he said, "Shanghai上海 is the city in the world世界
116
298000
3000
他說“上海是一個世界上最多摩天大樓
05:13
with most skyscrapers摩天大樓,"
117
301000
2000
的城市。”
05:15
but to him it was as if the connection連接 to the roots had been cut over.
118
303000
4000
但對他來說,卻像是把和根的聯繫剪斷了
05:19
And with the People's人們 Building建造, he saw an architecture建築
119
307000
2000
在“人大廈”上他看見了一個建築
05:21
that could bridge the gap間隙 between之間 the ancient wisdom智慧 of China中國
120
309000
3000
可以成為古代中國智慧和未來中國發展
05:24
and the progressive進步 future未來 of China中國.
121
312000
3000
的橋樑
05:27
So we obviously明顯 profoundly深深 agreed約定 with him.
122
315000
3000
當然,我們深刻的表示同意
05:30
(Laughter笑聲)
123
318000
4000
(笑聲)
05:34
(Applause掌聲)
124
322000
4000
(掌聲)
05:38
Unfortunately不幸, Mr先生. Chen is now in prison監獄 for corruption腐敗.
125
326000
3000
不幸的是現在陳先生因為貪污正在坐牢
05:41
(Laughter笑聲)
126
329000
4000
(笑聲)
05:45
But like I said, Haibao海寶 looked看著 very familiar,
127
333000
2000
但如我所說,海寶看上去很眼熟
05:47
because he is actually其實 the Chinese中文 character字符 for "people."
128
335000
4000
因為它是中國字裏的“人”字
05:51
And they chose選擇 this mascot吉祥物 because
129
339000
2000
它們選擇這個吉祥物的原因是
05:53
the theme主題 of the expo博覽會 is "Better City, Better Life."
130
341000
3000
世博的主題是“城市,讓生活更美好”
05:56
Sustainability可持續發展.
131
344000
2000
永續性
05:58
And we thought, sustainability可持續性 has grown長大的 into being存在
132
346000
2000
今日,永續性已經變成了一種
06:00
this sort分類 of neo-Protestant新新教 idea理念
133
348000
2000
新教徒式的想法
06:02
that it has to hurt傷害 in order訂購 to do good.
134
350000
2000
做好事一定得犧牲
06:04
You know, you're not supposed應該 to take long, warm showers陣雨.
135
352000
4000
像是不應該沖太長時間的熱水澡
06:08
You're not supposed應該 to fly on holidays假期 because it's bad for the environment環境.
136
356000
4000
或是因為環保不應該坐飛機去度假
06:12
Gradually逐漸, you get this idea理念 that sustainable可持續發展 life
137
360000
3000
逐漸地你開始感覺永續型的生活
06:15
is less fun開玩笑 than normal正常 life.
138
363000
2000
沒有辦法像正常生活這麼有趣
06:17
So we thought that maybe it could be interesting有趣 to focus焦點 on examples例子
139
365000
3000
所以我們想,如果我們可以針對那些
06:20
where a sustainable可持續發展 city
140
368000
2000
因為永續而提升生活品質的城市
06:22
actually其實 increases增加 the quality質量 of life.
141
370000
3000
來作為例子,會很有趣
06:25
We also asked ourselves我們自己, what could Denmark丹麥 possibly或者 show顯示 China中國
142
373000
2000
我們也自問,丹麥有什麼可以展示
06:27
that would be relevant相應?
143
375000
2000
而且和中國人有關的?
06:29
You know, it's one of the biggest最大 countries國家 in the world世界, one of the smallest最少.
144
377000
3000
一個是世界上最大的國家之一,一個是最小國家之一
06:32
China中國 symbolized象徵 by the dragon.
145
380000
2000
中國以龍為象徵
06:34
Denmark丹麥, we have a national國民 bird, the swan天鵝.
146
382000
3000
丹麥,也有國鳥,天鵝
06:37
(Laughter笑聲)
147
385000
2000
(笑聲)
06:39
China中國 has many許多 great poets詩人,
148
387000
2000
中國有許多偉大的詩人
06:41
but we discovered發現 that in the People's人們 Republic共和國
149
389000
2000
但我們發現在中國人民共和國的
06:43
public上市 school學校 curriculum課程,
150
391000
2000
小學教材裏
06:45
they have three fairy仙女 tales故事 by An Tu Sheng,
151
393000
3000
有三個安徒生童話故事
06:48
or Hans漢斯 Christian基督教 Anderson安德森, as we call him.
152
396000
2000
也就是丹麥的漢斯·克利斯蒂安·安徒生
06:50
So that means手段 that all 1.3 billion十億 Chinese中文
153
398000
3000
這代表十三億中國人
06:53
have grown長大的 up with "The Emperor's皇帝 New Clothes衣服,"
154
401000
2000
都是看國王的新衣、賣火柴的女孩
06:55
"The Matchstick火柴 Girl女孩" and "The Little Mermaid美人魚."
155
403000
3000
和小美人魚長大的
06:58
It's almost幾乎 like a fragment分段 of Danish丹麥 culture文化
156
406000
2000
就像是一個小小的丹麥文化
07:00
integrated集成 into Chinese中文 culture文化.
157
408000
2000
被融入了中國文化中
07:02
The biggest最大 tourist遊客 attraction引力 in China中國 is the Great Wall.
158
410000
3000
中國最大的旅遊景點是萬里長城
07:05
The Great Wall is the only thing that can be seen看到 from the moon月亮.
159
413000
2000
長城是唯一能在月球上看見的人類建築
07:07
The big tourist遊客 attraction引力 in Denmark丹麥 is The Little Mermaid美人魚.
160
415000
3000
丹麥最大的旅遊景點是小美人魚
07:10
That can actually其實 hardly幾乎不 be seen看到 from the canal運河 tours.
161
418000
3000
小的幾乎在觀光遊船上也看不到
07:13
(Laughter笑聲)
162
421000
2000
(笑聲)
07:15
And it sort分類 of shows節目 the difference區別 between之間 these two cities城市.
163
423000
2000
這些都代表了兩個城市的差異
07:17
Copenhagen哥本哈根, Shanghai上海,
164
425000
2000
哥本哈根、上海
07:19
modern現代, European歐洲的.
165
427000
2000
現代、歐洲
07:21
But then we looked看著 at recent最近 urban城市的 development發展,
166
429000
2000
但當我們看看最近的城市發展
07:23
and we noticed注意到 that this is like a Shanghai上海 street,
167
431000
2000
我們發現這就像30年前的
07:25
30 years年份 ago. All bikes自行車, no cars汽車.
168
433000
3000
上海街頭。全是腳踏車,沒有車
07:28
This is how it looks容貌 today今天; all traffic交通 jam果醬.
169
436000
2000
現在看起來是這樣,大塞車
07:30
Bicycles自行車 have become成為 forbidden被禁止 many許多 places地方.
170
438000
3000
腳踏車在許多地方是被禁止的
07:33
Meanwhile與此同時, in Copenhagen哥本哈根 we're actually其實 expanding擴大 the bicycle自行車 lanes車道.
171
441000
3000
在哥本哈根我們開始擴大腳踏車道
07:36
A third第三 of all the people commute改判 by bike自行車.
172
444000
3000
三分之一的人以腳踏車代步
07:39
We have a free自由 system系統 of bicycles自行車 called the City Bike自行車
173
447000
2000
哥本哈根有個免費腳踏車系統,叫“城市腳踏車”
07:41
that you can borrow if you visit訪問 the city.
174
449000
2000
你可以借它拜訪城市的任何一個角落
07:43
So we thought, why don't we reintroduce重新引入 the bicycle自行車 in China中國?
175
451000
4000
我們想,為什麼不乾脆把腳踏車重新介紹給中國人呢?
07:47
We donate 1,000 bikes自行車 to Shanghai上海.
176
455000
3000
我們捐贈了一千輛腳踏車給上海
07:50
So if you come to the expo博覽會, go straight直行 to the Danish丹麥 pavilion,
177
458000
3000
當你到上海世博的時候,直接到丹麥館去
07:53
get a Danish丹麥 bike自行車, and then continue繼續 on that to visit訪問 the other pavilions展館.
178
461000
4000
借一部丹麥腳踏車。然後再繼續去拜訪其他館
07:57
Like I said, Shanghai上海 and Copenhagen哥本哈根 are both port港口 cities城市,
179
465000
3000
上海和哥本哈根都是港口城市
08:00
but in Copenhagen哥本哈根 the water has gotten得到 so clean清潔
180
468000
2000
但哥本哈根的水非常乾淨
08:02
that you can actually其實 swim游泳 in it.
181
470000
2000
乾淨到你可以在裏面游泳
08:04
One of the first projects項目 we ever did
182
472000
2000
我們做的頭幾個項目之一
08:06
was the harbor港口 bath in Copenhagen哥本哈根,
183
474000
2000
就是哥本哈根港海港浴
08:08
sort分類 of continuing繼續 the public上市 realm領域 into the water.
184
476000
2000
把公共空間帶進水裏
08:10
So we thought that these expos博覽會 quite相當 often經常 have a lot of
185
478000
4000
我們覺得這些展覽經常包含了很多
08:14
state financed資助 propaganda宣傳,
186
482000
2000
國家資助的宣傳
08:16
images圖片, statements聲明, but no real真實 experience經驗.
187
484000
2000
影像、文案,但沒有真正的體驗
08:18
So just like with a bike自行車, we don't talk about it.
188
486000
2000
我們希望藉著像腳踏車這樣的東西
08:20
You can try it.
189
488000
2000
大家可以自己感覺
08:22
Like with the water, instead代替 of talking about it,
190
490000
2000
像水,與其我們在文案裏形容它有多乾淨
08:24
we're going to sail a million百萬 liters of harbor港口 water
191
492000
3000
不如從哥本哈根港口運一百萬公升的水
08:27
from Copenhagen哥本哈根 to Shanghai上海,
192
495000
2000
到上海
08:29
so the Chinese中文 who have the courage勇氣 can actually其實 dive潛水 in
193
497000
2000
所以有勇氣的中國人可以親身跳下水
08:31
and feel how clean清潔 it is.
194
499000
2000
體驗它到底有多乾淨
08:33
This is where people normally一般 object目的 that it doesn't sound聲音 very sustainable可持續發展
195
501000
3000
這時人們通常都會反映說,把水從哥本哈根運到中國
08:36
to sail water from Copenhagen哥本哈根 to China中國.
196
504000
3000
聽上去不太環保
08:39
But in fact事實, the container容器 ships船舶 go
197
507000
3000
但事實上這些船隻裝滿了從中國
08:42
full充分 of goods產品 from China中國 to Denmark丹麥,
198
510000
3000
運到丹麥的貨物
08:45
and then they sail empty back.
199
513000
2000
回程卻是空的
08:47
So quite相當 often經常 you load加載 water for ballast壓載.
200
515000
2000
很多時候都需要水來壓艙
08:49
So we can actually其實 hitch拴住 a ride for free自由.
201
517000
2000
所以我們只是坐了順風船
08:51
And in the middle中間 of this sort分類 of harbor港口 bath,
202
519000
2000
在這個海港池水中間
08:53
we're actually其實 going to put the actual實際 Little Mermaid美人魚.
203
521000
3000
我們會把真正的小美人魚銅像放在那裏
08:56
So the real真實 Mermaid美人魚, the real真實 water, and the real真實 bikes自行車.
204
524000
3000
真正的小美人魚,真正的水,真正的腳踏車
08:59
And when she's gone走了, we're going to invite邀請
205
527000
2000
當她不在的時候我們會請一個中國的藝術家
09:01
a Chinese中文 artist藝術家 to reinterpret重新詮釋 her.
206
529000
2000
來重新闡釋她
09:03
The architecture建築 of the pavilion is this sort分類 of loop循環
207
531000
2000
展館建築本身是一個由展覽和腳踏車
09:05
of exhibition展覽 and bikes自行車.
208
533000
2000
組成的環形
09:07
When you go to the exhibition展覽, you'll你會 see the Mermaid美人魚 and the pool.
209
535000
3000
當你到展場時,你會看到小美人魚銅像和水池
09:10
You'll你會 walk步行 around, start開始 looking for a bicycle自行車 on the roof屋頂,
210
538000
3000
你會四處走動,開始在屋頂上找腳踏車
09:13
jump on your ride and then continue繼續 out into the rest休息 of the expo博覽會.
211
541000
5000
跳上車繼續去看其他展館
09:18
So when we actually其實 won韓元 the competition競爭
212
546000
2000
當我們贏得這個項目以後
09:20
we had to do an exhibition展覽 in China中國 explaining說明 the project項目.
213
548000
3000
我們得在中國做一個展覽解釋我們的設計理念
09:23
And to our surprise we got one of our boards back
214
551000
2000
令我們驚訝的是竟然有一塊展覽說明被退了回來
09:25
with corrections更正 from the Chinese中文 state censorship審查.
215
553000
5000
上面有中國審查機構做的修改
09:30
The first thing, the China中國 map地圖 missed錯過 Taiwan台灣.
216
558000
3000
第一,中國地圖少了臺灣
09:33
It's a very serious嚴重 political政治 issue問題 in China中國. We will add on.
217
561000
3000
這在中國是一個非常嚴肅的政治問題,我們會加上
09:36
The second第二 thing, we had compared相比 the swan天鵝 to the dragon,
218
564000
3000
第二,我們把天鵝和龍做比較
09:39
and then the Chinese中文 state said,
219
567000
2000
於是中國官方寫著
09:41
"Suggest建議 change更改 to panda熊貓."
220
569000
2000
“建議改成熊貓”
09:43
(Laughter笑聲)
221
571000
2000
(笑聲)
09:45
(Applause掌聲)
222
573000
3000
(掌聲)
09:48
So, when it came來了 out in Denmark丹麥 that we were actually其實 going to
223
576000
2000
世博開始以後我們會把這個丹麥國家象徵
09:50
move移動 our national國民 monument紀念碑,
224
578000
2000
搬到中國去
09:52
the National國民 People's人們 Party派對 sort分類 of rebelled背叛 against反對 it.
225
580000
5000
政府裏人反對這個點子
09:57
They tried試著 to pass通過 a law against反對 moving移動 the Mermaid美人魚.
226
585000
3000
他們嘗試通過一個不許移動小美人魚的法律
10:00
So for the first time, I got invited邀請 to speak說話 at the National國民 Parliament議會.
227
588000
3000
於是有生以來第一次我被邀請到國家議會去演講
10:03
It was kind of interesting有趣 because in the morning早上, from 9 to 11,
228
591000
4000
這很有趣因為從早上九點到十一點
10:07
they were discussing討論 the bailout救助 package --
229
595000
2000
他們在討論新的財政援助
10:09
how many許多 billions數十億 to invest投資 in saving保存 the Danish丹麥 economy經濟.
230
597000
3000
要把幾百億振興方案投資在丹麥經濟裏
10:12
And then at 11 o'clock they stopped停止 talking about these little issues問題.
231
600000
3000
十一點他們停止討論這些小事
10:15
And then from 11 to 1,
232
603000
2000
因為十一點到下午一點
10:17
they were debating辯論 whether是否 or not to send發送 the Mermaid美人魚 to China中國.
233
605000
2000
他們要辯論是否應該把小美人魚送到中國
10:19
(Laughter笑聲)
234
607000
2000
(笑聲)
10:21
(Applause掌聲)
235
609000
5000
(掌聲)
10:26
But to conclude得出結論, if you want to see the Mermaid美人魚 from May可能 to December十二月
236
614000
3000
結論是,如果明年五月到十一月你想看小美人魚
10:29
next下一個 year, don't come to Copenhagen哥本哈根,
237
617000
2000
不要到哥本哈根去
10:31
because she's going to be in Shanghai上海.
238
619000
2000
因為她要去上海
10:33
If you do come to Copenhagen哥本哈根,
239
621000
2000
如果你到哥本哈根
10:35
you will probably大概 see an installation安裝 by Ai Weiwei巍巍, the Chinese中文 artist藝術家.
240
623000
4000
你會看到中國藝術家艾未未的裝置藝術
10:39
But if the Chinese中文 government政府 intervenes介入, it might威力 even be a panda熊貓.
241
627000
4000
但如果中國政府介入的話也很有可能變成熊貓
10:43
(Laughter笑聲)
242
631000
3000
(笑聲)
10:46
So the second第二 story故事 that I'd like to tell
243
634000
3000
我想說的第二個故事是
10:49
is, actually其實 starts啟動 in my own擁有 house.
244
637000
4000
從我自己的房子開始
10:53
This is my apartment公寓.
245
641000
2000
這是我的公寓
10:55
This is the view視圖 from my apartment公寓,
246
643000
2000
這是從我公寓看出去的景觀
10:57
over the sort分類 of landscape景觀 of triangular三角形的 balconies陽台
247
645000
3000
從這些三角形的陽臺上
11:00
that our client客戶 called the Leonardo萊昂納多 DiCaprio迪卡普里奧 balcony陽台.
248
648000
3000
我的客戶稱之為“李奧納多”陽臺
11:03
And they form形成 this sort分類 of vertical垂直 backyard後院
249
651000
6000
它們形成了這個垂直的後院
11:09
where, on a nice不錯 summer夏季 day, you'll你會 actually其實 get introduced介紹 to all your neighbors鄰居
250
657000
2000
在一個美好的夏天,你可以和你的鄰居自我介紹
11:11
in a vertical垂直 radius半徑 of 10 meters.
251
659000
3000
在十公尺的舉例內
11:14
The house is sort分類 of a distortion失真 of a square廣場 block.
252
662000
3000
這個房子事實上是一個變化的方形
11:17
Trying to zigzag蜿蜒 it to make sure
253
665000
2000
互相錯開以確定
11:19
that all of the apartments公寓 look at the straight直行 views意見,
254
667000
2000
所有的公寓都能看到景觀
11:21
instead代替 of into each other.
255
669000
2000
而不是看到彼此
11:23
Until直到 recently最近, this was the view視圖 from my apartment公寓,
256
671000
3000
所以最近我家的景觀變成了工地
11:26
onto this place地點 where our client客戶 actually其實 bought the neighbor鄰居 site現場.
257
674000
4000
直到我們的客戶買了旁邊的空地
11:30
And he said that he was going to do an apartment公寓 block
258
678000
3000
他說他要蓋一整排的公寓
11:33
next下一個 to a parking停車處 structure結構體.
259
681000
2000
旁邊是停車塔
11:35
And we thought, rather than doing a traditional傳統 stack of apartments公寓
260
683000
3000
於是我們想與其蓋一組傳統的公寓
11:38
looking straight直行 into a big boring無聊 block of cars汽車,
261
686000
3000
看向一排排無聊的空車
11:41
why don't we turn all the apartments公寓 into penthouses棚子,
262
689000
3000
我們何不把所有公寓都變成斜角
11:44
put them on a podium講台 of cars汽車.
263
692000
2000
再把它們放在車子組成的平臺上
11:46
And because Copenhagen哥本哈根 is completely全然 flat平面,
264
694000
2000
因為哥本哈根是完全平坦的
11:48
if you want to have a nice不錯 south-facing朝南 slope with a view視圖,
265
696000
2000
如果你想要有個視野良好的南向坡度
11:50
you basically基本上 have to do it yourself你自己.
266
698000
2000
你只好自己來
11:52
Then we sort分類 of cut up the volume,
267
700000
3000
然後我們再減低一些容量
11:55
so we wouldn't不會 block the view視圖 from my apartment公寓.
268
703000
2000
免得擋住我家的視野
11:57
(Laughter笑聲)
269
705000
4000
(笑聲)
12:01
And essentially實質上 the parking停車處 is sort分類 of occupying佔用 the deep space空間
270
709000
3000
這些停車場填滿公寓住家底層的空間
12:04
underneath the apartments公寓.
271
712000
2000
空間
12:06
And up in the sun太陽, you have a single layer of apartments公寓
272
714000
3000
從太陽的角度看,頂部是一層公寓
12:09
that combine結合 all the splendors輝煌 of a suburban郊區的 lifestyle生活方式,
273
717000
3000
擁有所有郊區的生活形態
12:12
like a house with a garden花園 with a sort分類 of metropolitan宗主 view視圖,
274
720000
4000
像個擁有城市景觀的花園洋房
12:16
and a sort分類 of dense稠密 urban城市的 location位置.
275
724000
3000
在人口密集的地區
12:19
This is our first architectural建築的 model模型.
276
727000
2000
這是我們的模型
12:21
This is an aerial天線 photo照片 taken採取 last summer夏季.
277
729000
3000
這是我們去年夏天拍攝的空照圖
12:24
And essentially實質上, the apartments公寓 cover the parking停車處.
278
732000
3000
基本上公寓蓋住了停車場
12:27
They are accessed訪問 through通過 this diagonal對角線 elevator電梯.
279
735000
3000
你可以乘坐這個的斜的電梯
12:30
It's actually其實 a stand-up站起來 product產品 from Switzerland瑞士,
280
738000
2000
這是一個瑞士的產品
12:32
because in Switzerland瑞士 they have a natural自然 need for diagonal對角線 elevators電梯.
281
740000
4000
因為在瑞士他們需要這種斜角電梯
12:36
(Laughter笑聲)
282
744000
2000
(笑聲)
12:38
And the facade正面 of the parking停車處,
283
746000
2000
停車場的正面
12:40
we wanted to make the parking停車處 naturally自然 ventilated通風,
284
748000
3000
我們想要讓它可以自然通風
12:43
so we needed需要 to perforate穿孔 it.
285
751000
2000
於是我們需要在上面打洞
12:45
And we discovered發現 that by controlling控制 the size尺寸 of the holes,
286
753000
2000
我們發現我們可以利用洞的不同大小
12:47
we could actually其實 turn the entire整個 facade正面
287
755000
2000
讓整個立面變成一個
12:49
into a gigantic巨大, naturally自然 ventilated通風,
288
757000
3000
巨大的,自然通風的
12:52
rasterized光柵化 image圖片.
289
760000
2000
光柵圖像
12:54
And since以來 we always refer參考 to the project項目 as The Mountain,
290
762000
3000
因為我們總是叫這個案件“山嵐”
12:57
we commissioned委託 this Japanese日本 Himalaya喜馬拉雅 photographer攝影師
291
765000
2000
於是我們請一個日本的喜馬拉雅山脈攝影師
12:59
to give us this beautiful美麗 photo照片 of Mount安裝 Everest珠峰,
292
767000
3000
給我們這張美麗的聖母峰照片
13:02
making製造 the entire整個 building建造 a 3,000 square廣場 meter儀表 artwork藝術品.
293
770000
4000
把整棟建築變成一個三千平方尺的藝術品
13:06
(Applause掌聲)
294
774000
6000
(掌聲)
13:12
So if you go back into the parking停車處, into the corridors走廊,
295
780000
3000
如果你回到停車場,建築裏的走廊
13:15
it's almost幾乎 like traveling旅行 into a parallel平行 universe宇宙
296
783000
2000
就像是在平行宇宙裏走動
13:17
from cars汽車 and colors顏色,
297
785000
2000
從這些車子和顏色
13:19
into this sort分類 of south-facing朝南 urban城市的 oasis綠洲.
298
787000
3000
走進這個南向的城市綠洲
13:22
The wood of your apartment公寓 continues繼續 outside becoming變得 the facades外牆.
299
790000
4000
公寓裏的原木延伸到外面,成為建築表面
13:26
If you go even further進一步, it turns into this green綠色 garden花園.
300
794000
3000
再往外去,就走進了這個綠色花園
13:29
And all the rainwater雨水 that drops滴劑 on the Mountain
301
797000
2000
所有從山上來的雨水
13:31
is actually其實 accumulated積累.
302
799000
2000
都聚集起來
13:33
And there is an automatic自動 irrigation灌溉 system系統
303
801000
3000
經過這個自動灑水系統
13:36
that makes品牌 sure that this sort分類 of landscape景觀 of gardens花園,
304
804000
3000
讓這個花園
13:39
in one or two years年份 it will sort分類 of transform轉變
305
807000
2000
再一兩年內變成
13:41
into a Cambodian柬埔寨 temple寺廟 ruin廢墟,
306
809000
2000
柬埔寨的廢棄神殿一樣的
13:43
completely全然 covered覆蓋 in green綠色.
307
811000
2000
綠色城堡
13:45
So, the Mountain is like our first built內置 example
308
813000
3000
“山嵐”是我們叫做“建築煉金術”
13:48
of what we like to refer參考 to as architectural建築的 alchemy煉金術.
309
816000
3000
的第一個例子
13:51
This idea理念 that you can actually其實 create創建, if not gold,
310
819000
2000
想法是你可以創造,就算不是金子
13:53
then at least最小 added添加 value by mixing混合
311
821000
2000
至少創造價值,藉著混合
13:55
traditional傳統 ingredients配料, like normal正常 apartments公寓
312
823000
2000
傳統元素,像普通公寓
13:57
and normal正常 parking停車處,
313
825000
2000
和普通停車塔
13:59
and in this case案件 actually其實 offer提供 people
314
827000
2000
變成這個讓人們不再需要
14:01
the chance機會 that they don't have to choose選擇 between之間
315
829000
2000
選擇一個綠化的生活
14:03
a life with a garden花園 or a life in the city.
316
831000
2000
或是一個城市的生活
14:05
They can actually其實 have both.
317
833000
4000
而可以同時擁有兩者
14:09
As an architect建築師, it's really hard to set the agenda議程.
318
837000
4000
身為建築師你很難設定一個改造整個城市的方針
14:13
You can't just say that now I'd like to do a sustainable可持續發展 city
319
841000
2000
你不能說:現在我要來建個永續城市
14:15
in central中央 Asia亞洲,
320
843000
2000
在中亞
14:17
because that's not really how you get commissions佣金.
321
845000
3000
因為這不是你贏得案子的方法
14:20
You always have to sort分類 of adapt適應 and improvise湊合
322
848000
4000
你必須從機會,意外
14:24
to the opportunities機會 and accidents事故 that happen發生,
323
852000
2000
和世界的混亂中
14:26
and the sort分類 of turmoil動盪 of the world世界.
324
854000
4000
適應和創造
14:30
One last example is that recently最近 we,
325
858000
2000
上個例子發生在
14:32
like last summer夏季, we won韓元 the competition競爭
326
860000
3000
上個夏天,我們贏得了
14:35
to design設計 a Nordic北歐 national國民 bank銀行.
327
863000
3000
北歐國家銀行的設計案
14:38
This was the director導向器 of the bank銀行 when he was still smiling微笑.
328
866000
4000
這是銀行總裁 - 在他還笑得出來的時候
14:42
(Laughter笑聲)
329
870000
2000
(笑聲)
14:44
It was in the middle中間 of the capital首都 so we were really excited興奮 by this opportunity機會.
330
872000
3000
我們很興奮能贏得這個案子,因為它就在首都的正中心
14:47
Unfortunately不幸, it was the national國民 bank銀行 of Iceland冰島.
331
875000
5000
很不幸的那其實是冰島國家銀行
14:52
At the same相同 time, we actually其實 had a visitor遊客 --
332
880000
3000
同時有個人來訪問我們
14:55
a minister部長 from Azerbaijan阿塞拜疆 came來了 to our office辦公室.
333
883000
3000
一個來自亞塞拜然的部長來到我們的辦公室
14:58
We took him to see the Mountain. And he got very excited興奮
334
886000
3000
我們帶他去看“山嵐”
15:01
by this idea理念 that you could actually其實 make mountains
335
889000
2000
他對這個你可以把建築變成山嵐的方法
15:03
out of architecture建築,
336
891000
2000
非常興奮
15:05
because Azerbaijan阿塞拜疆 is known已知 as the Alps阿爾卑斯山 of Central中央 Asia亞洲.
337
893000
3000
因為亞塞拜然被人們稱為中亞的阿爾卑斯
15:08
So he asked us if we could actually其實 imagine想像
338
896000
2000
於是他問我們是否可以想像
15:10
an urban城市的 master plan計劃
339
898000
2000
一個全面性的都市計畫
15:12
on an island outside the capital首都
340
900000
2000
在這個首都外的小島
15:14
that would recreate重建 the silhouette輪廓 of the seven most significant重大 mountains
341
902000
3000
把亞塞拜然的七座最偉大的山脈
15:17
of Azerbaijan阿塞拜疆.
342
905000
2000
描繪出來
15:19
So we took the commission佣金.
343
907000
2000
於是我們接受了這個計畫
15:21
And we made製作 this small movie電影 that I'd like to show顯示.
344
909000
3000
我們做了這個小小的影片
15:24
We quite相當 often經常 make little movies電影.
345
912000
2000
我們常常做這些影片
15:26
We always argue爭論 a lot about the soundtrack聲帶,
346
914000
2000
而且常常為影片的配樂而爭執
15:28
but in this case案件 it was really easy簡單 to choose選擇 the song歌曲.
347
916000
4000
不過這次倒是很容易決定
15:37
So basically基本上, Baku巴庫 is this sort分類 of crescent新月 bay
348
925000
2000
基本上巴庫是這個半月灣
15:39
overlooking俯瞰 the island of Zira濟拉, the island that we are planning規劃 --
349
927000
3000
正對這 Zira 島,這次我們計畫的島嶼
15:42
almost幾乎 like the diagram of their flag.
350
930000
3000
就像他們的國際形狀一樣
15:45
And our main主要 idea理念 was
351
933000
2000
我們主要的想法是
15:47
to sort分類 of sample樣品 the seven most significant重大 mountains
352
935000
3000
把亞塞拜然的七個偉大山脈
15:50
of the topography地形 of Azerbaijan阿塞拜疆
353
938000
3000
做個測量繪圖
15:53
and reinterpret重新詮釋 them into urban城市的 and architectural建築的 structures結構,
354
941000
3000
然後把這些景觀變成適合人居住的
15:56
inhabitable可居住 of human人的 life.
355
944000
3000
都市和建築構造
15:59
Then we place地點 these mountains on the island,
356
947000
3000
我們把這些山脈放在島上
16:02
surrounding周圍 this sort分類 of central中央 green綠色 valley,
357
950000
2000
圍繞著這些中心的綠色山谷
16:04
almost幾乎 like a central中央 park公園.
358
952000
3000
就像中央公園
16:07
And what makes品牌 it interesting有趣 is that the island right now
359
955000
2000
有趣的是現在這個島嶼只是一片沙漠
16:09
is just a piece of desert沙漠. It has no vegetation植被.
360
957000
2000
沒有任何植物
16:11
It has no water. It has no energy能源, no resources資源.
361
959000
4000
沒有水源,沒有能源,沒有資源
16:15
So we actually其實 sort分類 of designed設計 the entire整個 island as a single ecosystem生態系統,
362
963000
4000
於是我們基本上把整個島設計成一個自然運作的生態系統
16:19
exploiting利用 wind energy能源 to drive駕駛 the desalination海水淡化 plants植物,
363
967000
4000
開發風力來運作淨水系統
16:23
and to use the thermal properties性能 of water
364
971000
2000
使用水的熱量
16:25
to heat and cool the buildings房屋.
365
973000
2000
來調節建築的溫度
16:27
And all the sort分類 of excess過量 freshwater淡水 wastewater廢水
366
975000
3000
這些多出來的乾淨廢水
16:30
is filtered過濾 organically有機 into the landscape景觀,
367
978000
3000
經過地質的自然過濾
16:33
gradually逐漸 transforming轉型 the desert沙漠 island
368
981000
2000
逐漸地將這個沙漠小島
16:35
into sort分類 of a green綠色, lush青蔥的 landscape景觀.
369
983000
4000
變成一個綠油油的風景
16:39
So, you can say where an urban城市的 development發展
370
987000
3000
一般人認為都市開發做的就是
16:42
normally一般 happens發生 at the expense費用 of nature性質,
371
990000
4000
損壞自然,但在這個例子裏
16:46
in this case案件 it's actually其實 creating創建 nature性質.
372
994000
4000
卻是創造自然
16:50
And the buildings房屋, they don't only sort分類 of
373
998000
3000
這些建築不只
16:53
invoke調用 the imagery意象 of the mountains,
374
1001000
3000
重新展現這些山景
16:56
they also operate操作 like mountains.
375
1004000
2000
它們的功能也像真正的山
16:58
They create創建 shelter庇護 from the wind.
376
1006000
2000
它們擋風
17:00
They accumulate積累 the solar太陽能 energy能源.
377
1008000
2000
收集太陽能
17:02
They accumulate積累 the water.
378
1010000
2000
收集水資源
17:04
So they actually其實 transform轉變 the entire整個 island
379
1012000
2000
把整座島化為
17:06
into a single ecosystem生態系統.
380
1014000
5000
一個獨立的生態系統
17:11
So we recently最近 presented呈現 the master plan計劃,
381
1019000
3000
我們最近提交了這個計畫
17:14
and it has gotten得到 approved批准.
382
1022000
2000
而且被通過了
17:16
And this summer夏季 we are starting開始 the construction施工 documents文件
383
1024000
3000
這個夏天我們開始動手做頭兩座山的
17:19
of the two first mountains,
384
1027000
2000
施工圖
17:21
in what's going to be the first carbon-neutral碳中和 island
385
1029000
4000
這將會稱為中亞第一個
17:25
in Central中央 Asia亞洲.
386
1033000
3000
無碳島
17:28
(Applause掌聲)
387
1036000
9000
(掌聲)
17:37
Yes, maybe just to round回合 off.
388
1045000
2000
做個總結
17:39
So in a way you can see how the Mountain in Copenhagen哥本哈根
389
1047000
3000
某個程度上你可以看到一個哥本哈根的山嵐
17:42
sort分類 of evolved進化 into the Seven Peaks of Azerbaijan阿塞拜疆.
390
1050000
3000
如何演化成亞塞拜然的七座山
17:45
With a little luck運氣 and some more evolution演化,
391
1053000
3000
只要一些運氣和一些演化
17:48
maybe in 10 years年份 it could be the Five Mountains on Mars火星.
392
1056000
4000
說不定在十年內就是火星的五座山了
17:52
Thank you.
393
1060000
2000
謝謝
17:54
(Applause掌聲)
394

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Bjarke Ingels - Architect
Theory meets pragmatism meets optimism in Bjarke Ingels' architecture. His big-think approach is informed by a hands-on, ground-up understanding of the needs of a building's occupants and surroundings.

Why you should listen

Bjarke Ingels is principal of BIG, based in Copenhagen. An alumnus of Rem Koolhaas' OMA practice, Ingels takes a similar approach: experimenting with pure space, but never losing sight of the building as a solution to a real-world problem. His manifesto "Yes Is More" takes the form of a giant cartoon strip, 130 meters long, that reminds people to keep thinking big -- to see all our modern problems as challenges that inspire us. (The manifesto is now available in comic-book form.)

His deeply-thought-out and often rather large works -- including several skyscrapers and mixed-use projects in a developing section of Copenhagen, plus a project for a new commercial harbor-island --  work to bring coherence to the urban fabric and to help their occupants and users lead better lives. His most famous works include: the Stavanger Concert House, Tallinn’s city hall and the VM Houses. He recently won a competition to design Copenhagen’s waste-to-energy plant with a design that will place a ski slope on top of the structure.
