Our architecture event series “Architects, not Architecture” is set to debut in New York City!
After hosting successful events in over 10 countries and fostering connections among architects and enthusiasts globally through both online and in-person forums, we are excited to announce this new addition to our international event lineup. We are thrilled to officially “cross the pond” and connect with the incredible architectural community in the US.
On Tuesday, March 5th, 2024, at Brickworks Design Studio in Manhattan, we will showcase the stories of Toshiko Mori and Bjarke Ingels. The evening’s talks will focus on their individual life stories and the defining moments that have shaped their paths in life and architecture.

“Architects, not Architecture”, or “AnA”, gives guests the chance to get to know world-renowned architects on a more personal level as there is only one golden rule: speakers are not allowed to talk about their architectural projects. This has allowed audiences around the globe to enjoy unique personal content since the format was introduced in 2015.
Doors open at 18:00 EST.
The talks start at 18:30 EST.
This event is by Brickworks, Fisher & Paykel, and Sky-Frame.

Bjarke Ingels founded BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group in 2005 after co-founding PLOT Architects in 2001 and working at OMA in Rotterdam. Bjarke defines architecture as the art and science of making sure our cities and buildings fit with the way we want to live our lives. Through careful analysis of local culture and climate, the ever-changing patterns of contemporary life, and the ebbs and flows of the global economy, Bjarke believes in the idea of information-driven design as the driving force for his creative process. Named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by Time Magazine in 2016, Bjarke has designed and completed award-winning buildings globally. He was named an Honorary Fellow by the AIA in 2020, the RIBA in 2015 and the RAIC in 2014. The Wall Street Journal recognized Bjarke as Innovator of the Year in 2011, the same year he received the Danish Crown Prince’s Culture Prize. Bjarke was also awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 2004 and the ULI Award for Excellence in 2009. Alongside his architectural practice, Bjarke has taught at top global universities and is a frequent public speaker and continues to hold lectures in venues such as TED, WIRED, AMCHAM, 10 Downing Street, the World Economic Forum and many more. www.big.dk
