BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group

Of all the architects who emerged in the 2000s, Bjarke Ingels is possibly the most renowned and influential one.

Although the firm BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group is currently led by twelve partners, its personality is indissolubly connected to that of its founder, Danish architect Bjarke Ingels (b. 1974 in Copenhagen), who established the office in 2005.
Currently based in Copenhagen and New York, BIG has a unique capability to combine, both in small and large projects, ingenious and original forms with innovative materials and the most advanced building technology.

We particularly appreciate BIG’s design and creativity, admittedly. Possibly also because the M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark in Elsinore, thanks to Bjarke Ingels Group’s support, is the first large museum we’ve covered on Inexhibit, back in 2014.
