Across 2 podcasts. Every show Bjarke Ingels appears on, in one place — not just one.

Bjarke Ingels appeared on Freakonomics Radio and People I (Mostly) Admire in discussions with Stephen Dubner concerning his work and architectural philosophy. Ingels discussed Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner's widely read book Freakonomics, telling Dubner that he genuinely enjoyed reading it because the text is heavily saturated and praised the co-authors' remarkable ability to collect incredible data sets. Additionally, Ingels highlighted his own firm's publication, titled Yes is More, describing it as the Bjarke Ingels Group's first book presented in the unique format of a graphic novel about architecture. Through these references, Ingels connected empirical data collection and innovative communication methods to the broader conceptual frameworks that guide contemporary design and structural engineering practice.
