“Designing sustainably and designing resiliently is not just more homework for architects and engineers,” said Bjarke Ingels at the closing plenary of Greenbuild 2016 Friday afternoon.
Foster + Partners, Grimshaw Architects, and Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) will design a trio of pavilions for Expo 2020 in Dubai. The three firms beat ten competitors in a global competition whose results were announced on March 12.
Fresh off a string of high-profile commissions, Danish architect Bjarke Ingels and his firm, BIG, have been selected to design the 2016 Serpentine Pavilion in London this summer. And, for the first time, four other architects—Kunlé Adeyemi/NLÉ, Barkow Leibinger, Yona Friedman, and Asif Khan—will each create a summer house to accompany it.
Bjarke Ingels continues to write his west side story with yet another icon along the Hudson River. Today, developer Tishman Speyer unveiled the architect’s design for The Spiral, a 65-story, 2.85 million-square-foot office tower.
Architecture lovers now have the ability to bankroll (“steamroll,” if you will) the finishing touch on Bjarke Ingels Group’s energy plant/ski slope hybrid in Copenhagen—a vapor ring-belching chimney.
