REVIEW
The Art of Design Through Space documentary reflects Bjarke Ingel's architectural career
and his thoughts on designing and planning his projects. Young Bjarke used to want to be a
cartoonist or a comic artist until he’s 18-19 years old. However, his parents encouraged him
to study architecture. He studied architecture in Barcelona, and during his first year he
wanted to get some basic education in drawing to become a better cartoonist. He fancied
an architect and continued to fell in love with architecture.

Bjarke started off his career doing affordable housing and as a young scrappy architect.
Shortly, he became an architect of a large-scale, almost corporate firm. During his time of
career, his team has also raise many criticism, saying that their buildings are too cheap.
Despite that, over the last 15 years of BIG, the team have completed 12-13 buildings. Now,
they have 17 construction sites to build.

The documentary allow viewers to think out of the box like never before and encourage
them to pursue and dig deep to explore more.

In the documentary, Bjarke opens up some of his thoughts on his
architectural project, "With the same resources you can create and get
something that is completely different. It opens up how people think
about architecture, what a building could be and what it could do", and
"You can take things that are considered infrastructure and crossbreed it
so it actually has positive social and environmental effects".

In conclusion towards the documentary, "The Art of Design Through

Space" can be identified or defined as one's ability to realise ideas to
reality in regards of exploring and maximizing spaces.
