Bjarke Ingels Group - BIG, founded by Bjarke Ingels in 2005, is one of the most cutting-edge studios in the definition of urban and horizons scenarios.

Involved in multiple projects all over the world, the works of the BIG are united by a visionary gaze and the search for innovative theories on contemporary society and its ways of living.

In its two offices in Copenhagen and New York, professionals from all over the world work together with the aim of promoting cultural exchange as a source of design richness.

The skills of the group range from architecture to design, from concept development to engineering.

The studio is committed in exploring new areas adjacent to architecture, to stimulate research and build different perspectives on the cities we will experience in the coming years. Digital representation technologies are not the purpose but a means to represent such perspectives.

Society, economy, and ecology are the themes that Bjarke Ingels and his team care most about and which are addressed in each of their projects.
