Abstract is a show on Netflix about the art of design. Each episode focuses on one designer in a specific field. The first episode is about an illustrator who has designed covers for the New Yorker, the second about a shoe designer who was an integral part of Nike’s Jordan brand, the third about a set designer who has worked with everyone from Beyonce to Louis Vutton, and the fourth, which I just finished, is about a Danish Architect by the name of Bjarke Ingels.

Each year the Serpentine Gallery, one of two art galleries in London’s Hyde Park, selects one leading architect to design their summer attraction. This episode highlights the journey of his team as they create the temporary summer pavilion. Admission is free and the selection comes with a large degree of prestige. Ingels' group is given a mere 6 months to design and construct the pavilion, a task that unfolds throughout the episode.

Abstract is definitely worth the look even if it’s just to appreciate the creative work different types of designers undertake each and every day.
