Architecture Books on “Bjarke Ingels Architects”
Bjarke Bundgaard Ingels (Danish pronunciation; born 2 October 1974) is a Danish architect, founder and creative partner of Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG).
In Denmark, Ingels became well known after designing two housing complexes in Orestad VM Houses and Mountain Dwellings.
In 2006 he founded Bjarke Ingels Group, which grew to a staff of 400 by 2015, with noted projects including the 8 House housing complex, VIA 57 West in Manhattan, the Google North Bayshore headquarters (co-designed with Thomas Heatherwick), the Superkilen park, and the Amager Resource Center (ARC) waste-to-energy plant – the latter which incorporates both a ski slope and climbing wall on the building exterior.
Since 2009, Ingels has won numerous architectural competitions. He moved to New York City in 2012, where in addition to the VIA 57 West, BIG won a design contest after Hurricane Sandy for improving Manhattan’s flood resistance.
In 2011, The Wall Street Journal named Ingels Innovator of the Year for architecture, and in 2016 Time named him one of the 100 Most Influential People. Bjarke Ingels’ architecture is big, bold, and baroque, melding utility with innovative vision and producing, in his own words: “a pragmatic utopian architecture.” The golden boy of Danish architecture established his own firm BIG, or Bjarke Ingels Group, in 2005 and is renowned for his urban housing development projects.
Based in Copenhagen, many of his new buildings have been erected here. The 8 House, consisting of three different types of residential housing forming a figure 8 which one can cycle around; Superkilen, a public park designed in collaboration with the artist group Superflex; and a series of five open-air swimming pools, Islands Brygge Harbour Bath, are all found in Copenhagen, Denmark.
TASCHEN collaborated with BIG architects to produce the architecture comic Yes is More. An Archicomic on Architectural Evolution; a monograph-cum-manifesto of the Big group’s new concepts for new architecture, realized in a simple yet complex graphic storytelling form.
TASCHEN’s second publication with BIG is Hot to Cold. An Odyssey of Architectural Adaptation, a book that details case studies of architectural adaptation in extreme environments.
The book sat alongside an exhibition which showed at the National Building Museum in Washington and raises questions about how future climate change will require architectural evolution.
Formgiving. An Architectural Future History, the new book by BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group), and the latest installment in its TASCHEN trilogy is a visionary attempt to look at the horizon of time, from the Big Bang into the most distant future.
