This picture taken on August 8, 2020 shows a view of the facade of the damaged Sursock Museum in the neighbourhood of Ashrafiyeh in Lebanon's capital Beirut, with empty windows after their stained glass was broken in the aftermath of the massive blast at the port of Beirut which ravaged entire neighbourhoods of the city. - The mansion-turned-museum of Sursock, which only a few months ago was housing a landmark Picasso exhibition, now tells the story of a city's demise. Many of old Beirut's remaining landmarks had already been damaged by 15 years of civil war and decades of government neglect. The August 4 blast finished the job. The chemical disaster, which appears to have been the result of government negligence, was so powerful that it literally redrew Beirut's coastline and skyline.

Copenhagen, Denmark CNN  — 

Celebrated Danish architect Bjarke Ingels’ distinctive buildings are redefining skylines across the globe, from landmark projects in his native Copenhagen to the rebuilding of Two World Trade Center in New York.

Futuristic new Serpentine Gallery Pavilion opens in London

At just 41 he runs his own practice – Bjarke Ingels Group (or BIG) – comprising nearly 350 employees with offices in London, New York and his native Copenhagen.

What unifies BIG’s projects is the concept of the hybrid. “I really love when you take necessity and marry it with desire, or take utility and combine it with enjoyment,” Ingels said.

A key example of this is the rebuilding of the Amager Resource Center, a waste-to-energy plant located in an industrial area of Copenhagen. Set to open in 2018, BIG’s proposed designs include a tower that emits smoke rings to remind the public of their carbon emissions, and a ski slope on the roof.

Bjarke Ingels reveals three objects that define him

“We thought ‘Why not make the roof into a public park?’ And because we don’t have hills in Denmark, we would make it into a ski slope,” he explained in the latest episode of CNN Style.

“We don’t do things just for fun. We actually like to have fun, and I think you should take fun seriously, but our buildings end up looking different because they perform differently. The power plant ends up looking like a ski slope because it is actually a ski slope.”

Ingels’ attitude may be indicative of a fundamentally Danish approach to design. “All Danes are brought up with an awareness of design. The French claim they can taste the difference between different water, but Danes can actually recognize design classics.”
