About US

BIG is a Copenhagen, London and New York based group of architects, designers and thinkers operating within the fields of architecture, urbanism, research and development. BIG has created a reputation for completing buildings that are programmatically and technically innovative as they are cost and resource conscious. In our architectural production we demonstrate a high sensitivity to the particular demands of contexts and mixed use programs. By practicing ’programmatic alchemy’, BIG often mixes conventional ingredients such as living, leisure, working, parking and shopping into new forms of symbiotic architecture. The Mountain which was completed in 2008, counts as one of the first realized examples of this practice. BIG House, a 62,000 m2 mixed-use project in one continuous loop of public space is expected to be completed in 2010. The 5,000 m2 Danish Maritime Museum respects its UNESCO setting in Helsingør to create an invisible icon.  BIG has also won the competition of representing Denmark at the World EXPO Exhibition in Shanghai, in 2010. These projects clearly represent BIG’s ongoing effort to free architectural imagination from habitual thinking and standard typologies in order to deal with the constantly evolving challenges of contemporary life.

BIG是一个位于哥本哈根、伦敦和纽约的建筑师、设计师和思想家团体，在建筑、城市化、研究和开发领域开展工作。BIG在完成建筑方面享有声誉，这些建筑在程序和技术上具有创新性，同时也注重成本和资源。在我们的建筑作品中，我们展示了对环境和混合使用项目的特殊要求的高度敏感性。通过实践 "程序性炼金术"，BIG经常将传统的成分，如生活、休闲、工作、停车和购物，混合成新形式的共生建筑。在2008年完成的 "山"，是这种做法最早实现的例子之一。BIG House，一个62000平方米的混合用途项目，在一个连续的公共空间循环中，预计将于2010年完成。5,000平方米的丹麦海事博物馆尊重其在赫尔辛格的联合国教科文组织的环境，创造一个无形的标志。 BIG还赢得了代表丹麦参加2010年上海世界博览会的竞争。这些项目清楚地表明，BIG正在努力将建筑想象力从习惯性思维和标准类型中解放出来，以应对当代生活中不断变化的挑战。
