8H – The 8-House from BIG on Vimeo.
This is a bit long, and not about hooping at all. BIG (the predessor of PLOT) is one of my favorite architecture firms. When I lived in Copenhagen this firm was the inspiration for the way I started thinking about architecture and even space for that matter. I still aspire to convey my concepts and intentions with the clarity that they achieve. I apply it to architecture and also to my approach to hooping. In this video they’ve taken their diagrammatic methods to a new level, incorporating interactive 3d rendering. This is next level stuff. Bjarke Ingels isn’t just an architect, this guy is performing here and he’s making himself a rockstar. I’m not sure if I think that’s great for architecture but I’m impressed regardless.
