The Bjarke Ingels Group – BIG – are kicking off their first solo exhibition with a party next Friday, February 20, in Copenhagen. Check out the invitation, above, for more info.
They’ve got a lot to celebrate, so the mood should hopefully be high. For instance:
“Playful,” “controversial,” “cheeky,” “innovative” and “provocative” are just some of the terms used to describe BIG. Headed by Bjarke Ingels, this architectural company has in the space of a few years created prize-winning projects, a long list of innovative buildings and an international reputation, as well as taking an active part in current debates in society. Starting out from a vision aiming to free architecture from tired clichés, choosing instead to see modern life as an inspiring challenge, BIG has made a major contribution to the renewal of the Danish architectural tradition.
The exhibition itself opens on the 21st. (Somebody fly me over, please!)
Yucky.
“free architecture from tired clichés”
