"60 MINUTES" REVEALS THE MODEL OF THE NEW REDSKINS STADIUM IN A PROFILE OF ITS ARCHITECT, BJARKE INGELS - SUNDAY ON CBS

The star of the architectural world will reveal the model of the stadium where the stars of the Washington Redskins will one day play - complete with a moat for tailgating kayakers. It's just one of Danish architect Bjarke Ingels' trendy ideas being built around the world, some of which he will discuss in a profile conducted by Morley Safer on the next edition of 60 MINUTES, Sunday, March 13 (7:30-8:30 PM, ET/7:00-8:00 PM, PT) on the CBS Television Network. Watch an excerpt.

Ingels, 41, is working on more than 60 projects worldwide and becoming one of the world's most respected and sought-after architects. Among his projects underway are high-profile buildings like the final tower of the World Trade Center and the Googleplex, Google's new headquarters planned for Mountain View, Calif. He has accomplished more in his career already than many of his famous predecessors achieved in their lifetimes. He explains how his design philosophy began in school. "When I started studying architecture people would say, you know, 'Can you tell me why all modern buildings are so boring?'... People had this idea that in the good old days architecture had... ornament and little towers and spires and gargoyles and today, it just becomes very practical," says Ingels.

This architect wants much more than just practical buildings. Ingels mixes "the practical with the fantastical," he has said, hence terraces around the planned 2 World Trade Center or a waterway for kayakers at a football stadium. "Tailgating becomes a picnic in the park," says Ingels.

On a waterway tour of some of his work in New York City, Ingels shows Safer an ultra-modern apartment complex he designed going up along the Hudson River. It may be the most unique apartment building in the city. "It is the unlikely child of a New York skyscraper, and if you like, a Copenhagen courtyard building," he tells Safer, who says it looks like it could be a pyramid or a sail. Ingels says he was taking the idea to extremes, a look there's a geometric name for. "The roof itself is something you call a saddle shape, or in geometric terms you call it a hyperbolic paraboloid."

All this is from a man who never set out to even be an architect. "I wanted to be a cartoonist, but there was no cartoon academy. So I enrolled in the Royal Danish Art Academy School of Architecture... I really got smitten by architecture."
