"Some people use only the color white, or only 90 degrees. What defines their style is the sum of all their inhibitions. And I think we try to put ourselves in a position where we can be free to choose any weapon of choice in each and every case to match the context, the culture [and] the climate in the best possible way."
Bjarke Ingels, asked about why his work supposedly doesn't have a recognizable style (although I would disagree). Good one to the solar plexus of uptight American practice.

"Bjarke Ingels: An "Architect For A Moment Or An Era?"

I chosse Bjarke Ingels as Architect of the Year in December's Gentleman (Spanish edition).
(More goodbyes: this will be my last collaboration with the magazine, which closes with the January issue.)
