Bjarke Ingels Group: Bjarke Ingels Group Atlas, Gebunden

Klappentext

The first comprehensive monograph focusing on the built work of Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), one of the most innovative and creative architecture practices working today

For over two decades, the pioneering, multidisciplinary Danish firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) has created a wide range of architectures that stand out for their daring qualities, spectacular shapes, and imaginative solutions. BIG Atlas offers an ambitious and all-encompassing survey of more than fifty completed projects from around the world, from an energy plant topped with a ski slope and a LEGO House that seems to be made out of the famous bricks to the firm's own recently completed Copenhagen headquarters.

Spanning a rich variety of typologies, scales, and materials, the featured projects -- many of which have never been published before -- are brought to life through more than 600 photographs, plans, and drawings. Presented together for the first time, they trace BIG's transformation into fully integrated design, synthesizing the fields of landscape, engineering, architecture, and product design (LEAP) to advance more sustainable ways of living within our environments while simultaneously raising the quality of our lives.

Beautifully designed, oversized, and spanning more than 500 pages, this definitive monograph captures the groundbreaking work of a visionary firm.
