Oh, and at night, there’s a backdrop of beautiful neon CO2 smoke rings illuminated in the night sky. At the same time that the plant generates heat and electricity for 140,000 homes, skiers dressed in Brazilian-style bikinis can ride elevators to the top and ski down to the bottom. Nothing better summarizes the concept of Hedonistic Sustainability than his latest project, scheduled to break ground in 2012: an urban waste-processing and power plant in (completely flat) Copenhagen converted into a multi-purpose urban ski slope. This sustainability movement has a radical new intellectual champion: the Danish architectural genius Bjarke Ingels, who likes to think BIG. It is, instead, the latest and most exciting evolution of the green movement that is just now coming into its own as a powerful architectural and design concept. Hedonistic Sustainability is not an intellectual paradox.
