Graphic Novels and a Loop City on this Week's Urban Mobility
Bjarke Ingels is a big deal in Denmark, his architectural design firm BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group) has offices in Copenhagen and New York City. His team has recently been commissioned by the municipalities of Metropolitan Copenhagen to look at the potential for urban development along the city’s train line.
Bjarke initially wanted to focus on designing graphic novels when he went to university, but ended up with a very different career:
“Originally I never had any intention of becoming an architect, I wanted to become a graphic novelist. And because we don’t have a comic book academy in Denmark, but we have a Royal Danish Art Academy where they educate artists and architects, that was the path I went”
The Bjarke Ingels Group has an innovative idea that would transform the way Denmark and Sweden use thier existing rail lines. How would you re-design your city's transit system to be more efficient?
