Architecture should be more like Minecraft, says Bjarke Ingels (dezeen.com)

In a movie filmed for the Future of Storytelling summit, Danish architect Bjarke Ingels says that architecture needs to to more to allow the public to "transform their own environments", using the same principles as popular computer game Minecraft.

"These fictional worlds empower people with the tools to transform their own environments. This is what architecture ought to be," he says. "Architecture must become Worldcraft, the craft of making our world, where our knowledge and technology doesn't limit us but rather enables us to turn surreal dreams into inhabitable space. To turn fiction into fact. Bjarke Ingles Source: Dezeen
