    Philosophy
    • METAMODERNISM
    • hedonistic sustainability
    • “Architecture seems to be entrenched in two equally
    unfertile fronts: either naively utopian or petrifyingly
    pragmatic. We believe that there is a third way... A
    pragmatic utopian architecture.”"
    —Bjarke Ingels
    • Ingels’ worldcraft
    • “Architecture must become Worldcraft, the craft of making
    our world, where our knowledge and technology doesn't
    limit us but rather enables us to turn surreal dreams into
    inhabitable space. To turn fiction into fact”
    • Architectural alchemy
