"The famous amusement park Tivoli shows that fun need not be at the expense of the environment in the city. It´s a message that is also very close to the heart of one of Denmark´s rising stars, architect Bjarke Ingels of BIG architects: 'It is the mission of these young architects to to do away with the urban myth that the price of sustainablity is pleasure and comfort', says the host of CNN´s Future Cities. 'Architecture is here to provide the framework for the life we want to live,' says Bjarke Ingels, as he presents examples of buildings where the architecture shows that sustainable design can enhance the quality of life. One of BIGs upcoming projects is turning waste into energy by converting a large Copenhagen power plant into a public park for skiing with a man-made ski slope on the roof!". (Source: CNN)
