BJARKE INGELS AND KEN BURNS DISCUSS LEONARDO DA VINCI’S INFLUENCE ON ARCHITECTURE

In anticipation of Ken Burns’s forthcoming documentary on Leonardo da Vinci’s life and work, BIG Founder and Creative Director Bjarke Ingels sat down with the American filmmaker to reflect on da Vinci’s blend of science and art. During the discussion, Bjarke shares how – like da Vinci – he is inspired by the natural world in his work, the idea of pragmatic utopianism, and the architectural advancements that may impress the Italian polymath if he were alive today.
