In a CBS 60 Minutes segment exploring Bhutan, BIG’s Founder and Creative Director Bjarke Ingels spoke with correspondent Lesley Stahl about Gelephu Mindfulness City, BIG’s masterplan for a new city in Southern Bhutan informed by Bhutanese culture, the principles of Gross National Happiness Index, and the country’s strong spiritual heritage. 60 Minutes is the U.S.’s oldest and most-watched newsmagazine on television, covering current events, politics, lifestyle, pop culture, business, health, and science. “If we succeed, we can show that you can create a city that does not displace nature, that is anchored and rooted in the local heritage and culture, and still allows for prosperity and growth to happen.” – Bjarke Ingels, Founder and Creative Director, BIG
