We are sorry that you will not be attending the event We have removed the event from your agenda, you can always add it back later April 10 th 2025 11:00 - 12:30 (CEST) Details Speakers As cities rapidly transform, Bjarke Ingels’ architectural vision redefines the relationship between space, materiality, and interaction, echoing Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology. In Phenomenology of Perception, he posits that space is a lived experience, shaped through movement, matter, and sensory perception. We do not merely inhabit the world—we engage with it in an embodied, dynamic way. In Ingels’ architecture, this idea manifests in urban spaces that transcend functionality, becoming environments that actively shape experience. Through material experimentation—from the structural solidity of brick to the fluidity of light—and the integration of technology, his work transforms built space into an immersive, interactive organism. Rather than static constructs, his spaces evolve as arenas of play, relationship, and perception. In conversation with Oliva Sartogo, Ingels will explore these themes at Salone del Mobile 2025, reflecting on how materiality, technology, and human interaction can redefine the future of urban design.

REFORM Sofie Mathiassen Bjarke Ingels Architect, Founder Bjarke Ingels GroupBjarke believes the architectural profession is best explained with the traditional Danish word for design: Formgivning. As the name suggests it literally means form giving. When you design something, you give form to that which has not yet been given form – you are shaping the future. When you design a space, a building or a city, you are giving form to the world you yourself would want to living in.
