BIG’s Founder and Creative Director Bjarke Ingels spoke at Architects, not Architecture’s New York Edition event alongside architect Toshiko Mori. Bjarke spoke about the experiences that have shaped him and his career, including his personal evolutionary journey within the first quarter of his life, from his first memory to the opening of his first architecture firm PLOT. Architects, not Architecture was founded in Hamburg in 2015 to host events that invite well-known architects to talk about themselves rather than their architecture practices. They speak about their path, their influences and experiences, and dive deeper into their intellectual biography, shedding light on the enormous influences that are normally left in the shadows. Over the past 10 years, there have been more than 75 AnA events in 12 different countries, with over 200 world-renowned architects gracing the AnA stage.
