Bjarke Ingels Group

BJARKE INGELS GROUP or BIG is a Copenhagen, New York, London and Barcelona based group of architects, designers, urban planners, interior and product designers, researchers and inventors. The firm is currently involved in many projects in Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. Their architecture is created based on a careful analysis of how contemporary life is constantly evolving and changing. "As a form of programmatic alchemy, we create architecture by mixing conventional ingredients such as housing, leisure, work, parking and shopping. By hitting the fertile overlap between pragmatics and utopia, we architects have once again found the freedom to alter the surface of our planet to better suit contemporary forms of life," the studio states.
