Bjarke Ingels came to speak to our school Friday night. The venue was the Museum of Natural History in scenic Balboa Park. I am still blown away by the lecture and, more importantly, the message. It was truly (r)evolutionary. The fact that BIG’s insanely brilliant concepts not only get built but a) give back to [...]
