About Bjarke Ingels Group: BIG

Bjarke Ingels Group, also known as BIG, is a group of architects, designers, and thinkers operating within the fields of architecture, urbanism, research, and development with offices in Copenhagen and New York City. BIG has a reputation for completing buildings that are as programmatically and technically innovative as they are cost and resource-conscious. BIG’s recently completed projects include the Danish Maritime Museum (2013), Superkilen (2012), and the 8 House (2010). BIG’s first project was in the Copenhagen Harbor Bath (2003), an urban space that transformed the area of Islands Brygge from a rundown harbor front to the recreational and social center of the city. Current projects under construction include West 57th, a 750-unit residential building in Manhattan; the Vancouver House tower in Vancouver; the LEGO Brand House in Denmark; the Faroe Islands Education Center; the Shenzhen Energy Mansion in China; and a Wasteto-Energy plant in Copenhagen that will double as a ski slope.
