My thoughts on Bjarke Ingels

Warning: Spoilers
Watching this documentary was really interesting for me because not only was I finding out more about the world of architecture and about Bjarke Ingels but the most interesting part was watching the process of how they were working on designing a building for the Serpentine gallery. I have to say that for me liking modern architecture has always been hard because when I look at most of the modern buildings by fames architectures like Frank Gehry for example, I don't feel any kind of emotion, I can't see anything about it that I like but, Bjarke Ingels works are the only modern Architectural work that I more or less like and I can see why adore people would like it. I even looked at all of the works for the Serpentine gallery from 2000 to 2018 on interest and I have to say that the only work that I like was Bjarke Ingels's building. One of the main things that I like about Bjarke Ingels is how much he loves and how important Architecture is for him. One of the things that he sad that I liked was "when you're doing something like this, even though it's carefully crafted, and premeditated and discussed and designed and tested, when you see it, it has to feel effortless." And this is when I realized that's why I prefer Bjarke Ingels's works over most of the architectures like Frank Gehry's works because, Frank Gehry transcends architectural boundaries to become works of art and of cores I'm not in any way saying that Frank Gehry's works aren't good, what I'm trying to say is that Bjarke Ingels's elegant and expressive works are more for my taste. He said "something that was a barrier became a meeting point." And I loved how problem solving part of Architecture was shown in this documentary. I actually liked this documentary and Bjarke Ingels's works more after watching it a second time. I also have to say after watching this documentary I wanted to find an architecture whose works I would not like but would love and I found Kengo Kuma's works which is exactly for my taste. I think the best way to describe this documentary is when Bjarke Ingels said "this is brilliant. I never thought about this before. This would be amazing. It's beautiful. And two seconds after, you can't think of the world without thinking of this being a part of it."
