BIG presents FORMGIVING

Join the world-renowned Danish architects BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group on an architectural journey across time from Big Bang to Singularity.

Formgivning – the Danish word for design – means to give form to that which has not yet been given form. In other words: To give form to the future. A task more important than ever, as humans are the greatest force shaping the planet today. With 70+ spectacular BIG projects around the globe you’ll experience BIG’s borderless creativity and how they right now give form to your future.

 

BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group is one of the world’s most influential design studios. For 15 years, Bjarke Ingels and his colleagues have changed our understanding of what architecture is capable of.

For BIG, architecture is not just about giving shelter in the most efficient and pragmatic way. Nor is it about proposing utopian ideas that do not benefit the actual lives of real people. The studio is, in their own words, pragmatic utopians who want to unite concrete solutions with big thoughts. And always based on a clear idea.

 

A pyramid-shaped skyscraper. A ski slope in the middle of a city. An underground museum. A 12,000 sqm experience house for LEGO, of course, shaped as LEGO bricks.

With clear-cut concepts, BIG is world champion in communicating their architecture in a way that everyone understands. The architecture almost explains itself. Just look at LEGO House: The architecture is designed to contain LEGO bricks, and at the same time it is shaped like giant LEGO bricks. It’s hard to see where the architecture begins, and the content takes over. In other words, the architecture’s form literally shows what the content of the building is.

 

Throughout the world, BIG now tells inspirational stories with their architecture. From Oksbøl village on the Danish west coast to the mega-city Shenzhen in Southern China. So, next time you see a BIG project being built, try ask yourself: What story does it tell?
