The power of an idea

Nothing is as exciting as an idea. The power of an idea is the driving force for many design professionals. The contemporary architectural scene is shifting more towards idea-centric designs from the popular form-centric ones.  But not everyday that you will witness a barrage of ideas..! It was during mid May that I got a chance to visit the exhibition  “ HOT TO COLD : an odyssey of architectural adaptation “  featuring the recent works by  BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group in the  Great Hall inside Washington DC's National Building Museum.  "I had taught myself that my work had to be fresh, different, seemingly outrageous. From then on, I understood that nothing is as exciting as an idea."   George Lois T he Hot to Cold exhibition gives a comprehensive overview of their recent work across the globe, ranging from the hottest to the coldest climates and  hosts 60 models of conceptual and completed buildings, for  BIG 's first ever exhibition in North America.
