About this episode

Bjarke Ingels is the number 1 architect in the world. His buildings are taking the world by storm with their fearless disregard for the conventions and norms of our dull cities. Bjarke's buildings are both fun and immensely practical.


By when the greatest in his field is thinking about the future of work how does he design it? Bjarke explains how he is building innovative workspaces - both for others and for his own company.


Bjarke talks both about the cutting edge buildings that he is creating and references some of the accidentally brilliant buildings of the past like Building 20 at MIT which produced 9 Noble prize winners.
