Brief description

BIG is a Copenhagen based group of architects, designers and thinkers operating within the fields of architecture, urbanism, research and development. BIG has created a reputation for completing buildings that are as programmatically and technically innovative as they are cost and resource conscious. In our architectural production we demonstrate a high sensitivity to the particular demands of site context and program.

BIG seeks to free architectural imagination from habitual thinking and standard typologies in order to deal with the constantly evolving challenges of contemporary life.
