10 Remarkable Projects of Bjarke Ingels (BIG)

Bjarke Ingels, as a trendsetter in architecture, delivers vibrant playful settings as the essential but neglected part of the human experience in built environments. He believes in the idea of information-driven design as the driving force for his design process, based on careful analysis of numerous criteria such as local culture and climate, everchanging patterns of contemporary life, and the ebbs and flows of the global economy.

Born in October 1974, in Copenhagen, Denmark, he began studying architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1993 to pursue his childhood passion for cartoons and develop his drawing skills. However, he became interested in architecture while studying it and he decided to pursue the career. The influential Danish architect obtained his architecture diploma in 1999 and created BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group in 2005. Currently, his office is established in megacities such as Copenhagen, New York, London, Barcelona, and Shenzhen.

TIME Magazine named Bjarke Ingels one of the 100 Most Influential People in the world in 2016. He has collaborated on various projects worldwide, many of which have a theoretical perspective and an interest in cutting-edge theories about current society and lifestyles. He mainly pursues integrating sustainability into buildings in a playful sensible manner. Accordingly, his firm was named the best architecture firm in New York City by Architizer.

Here are the 10 most notable projects of Bjarke Ingels and his team:
