Quotes
- “Architecture is never triggered by a single event... conceived by a single mind... shaped by a single hand.”
- “Ideas migrate, structures grow and concepts develop in a form of architectural evolution.”
- “It is through improvisation and adaptation to unanticipated obstacles that we make our biggest breakthroughs.”
- “Sustainable ideas crystallize through an immensity of wasted efforts. ...Good ideas are sometimes resurrected from fossils of past evolutions.”
- “The work an architect gets to realize... is the result of random opportunities and chance. ...We have to respond to accidental challenges, through opportunistic , and migration of ideas. ...Often the story we tell is ...post-rationalization or hindsight.”
- “What if we could focus on examples where sustainability... increases the quality of life? Where a sustainable life isn't pain—but pleasure!”

Encyclopedic overview
Bjarke Bundgaard Ingels ( Danish pronunciation: [ˈpjɑːkə ˈpɔnkɒ ˈe̝ŋˀl̩s]; born 2 October 1974) is a Danish architect, founder and creative partner of Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG).
In Denmark, Ingels became well known after designing two housing complexes in Ørestad: VM Houses and Mountain Dwellings. In 2006 he founded Bjarke Ingels Group, which grew to a staff of 400 by 2015, with noted projects including the 8 House housing complex, VIA 57 West in Manhattan, the Google North Bayshore headquarters (co-designed with Thomas Heatherwick), the Superkilen park, and the Amager Resource Center (ARC) waste-to-energy plant – the latter which incorporates both a ski slope and climbing wall on the building exterior.
