Bjarke Ingels

Tendo sido co-fundador da PLOT Architects em 2001, Bjarke Ingels criou o seu prprio atelier, em 2006: BIG / Bjarke Ingels Group. Com uma srie de construes e projectos de design premiados, Bjarke Ingels criou uma reputao internacional como membro de uma nova gerao de arquitectos, que combina anlise inteligente, experimentao criativa, responsabilidade social e humor. Em 2004, foi galardoado com o Golden Lion na Bienal de Veneza pela Sala de Concertos Stavanger e, no ano seguinte, recebeu o prmio Forum Award pelas Casas VM. Recentemente, foi nomeado para o prestigioso prmio Mies van der Rohe pelas Casas Martimas da Juventude e as Casas VM, assim como para o prmio internacional Iakov Chernikhov. O trabalho dos BIG desafia o papel tradicional do arquitecto. Mediante uma srie de projectos, os BIG tm proposto projectos de forma pr-activa, que tm vindo a desencadear frequentemente debates pblicos acalorados e a influenciar as polticas urbansticas. Um destes projectos o Klverkarren, uma proposta para realizao do plano do mayor de Copenhaga para novas habitaes de baixo custo, na forma de uma Grande Muralha da China de 3 km de apartamentos, volta do parque de desportos existente. Ao praticar o que Bjarke Ingels gosta de descrever como alquimia programtica, os BIG misturam frequentemente ingredientes convencionais, como habitao, lazer, trabalho, estacionamento e comrcio em novas formas de arquitectura simbitica. Para alm do seu atelier de arquitectura, Bjarke Ingels actualmente professor residente na Escola Superior de Design da Universidade de Harvard. Having co-founded PLOT Architects in 2001, Bjarke Ingels started his own office in 2006: BIG / Bjarke Ingels Group. Through a series of award-winning design projects and buildings, Bjarke Ingels has created an international reputation as a member of a new generation of architects that combine shrewd analysis, playful experimentation, social responsibility and humour. In 2004 he was awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale for the Stavanger Concert House and the following year he received the Forum Award for the VM houses. Recently he has been nominated for the prestigious Mies van der Rohe Award for the Maritime Youth Houses and VM as well as the International Iakov Chernikhov Prize. The work of BIG challenges the traditional role of the architect. Through a series of projects BIG has pro-actively proposed projects that have often triggered heated public debate and influenced urban policies. One such project is the Klverkarren, a proposal to fulfil the Copenhagen Mayors plan of new affordable housing in the form of a 3 km-long Great Chinese Wall of apartments around an existing sports park. By practicing what Bjarke Ingels likes to describe as programmatic alchemy, BIG often mixes conventional ingredients such as living, leisure, working, parking and shopping into new forms of symbiotic architecture. Besides his architectural practice Bjarke Ingels is currently a visiting professor at Harvard Universitys Graduate School of Design.
