Bjarke Ingels Group
BIG—Bjarke Ingels Group is a Copenhagen, New York, London, Barcelona, Shanghai, Los Angeles, Zurich, Bhutan, and Oslo–based group of architects, designers, urbanists, landscape professionals, interior and product designers, researchers, and inventors. Led by Bjarke Ingels, the studio is currently involved in projects throughout Europe, the Americas, Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East. BIG’s architecture emerges out of a careful analysis of how contemporary life constantly evolves and changes. BIG believes that by hitting the fertile overlap between pragmatic and utopia, architects can find the freedom to change the surface of our planet, to better fit contemporary life forms.
Throughout 2025, Bjarke Ingels serves as guest editor for Italian architecture publication DOMUS, curating a year—long exploration of Materialism. Each issue focuses on a different material, documenting how architects and designers manipulate matter into objects and environments. As part of 3daysofdesign, BIG is opening its Copenhagen HQ to the public, inviting visitors to engage in conversations around the first seven materials explored throughout the guest editorship—Stone, Earth, Concrete, Metal, Glass, Wood and Fabric. These materials will be showcased alongside corresponding projects, talks, and a collection of raw materials cubes, celebrating real–world applications of the materials that shape our built environment.
