8 Tallet Copenhagen, Denmark BIG Architects 8 Tallet Copenhagen, Denmark BIG Architects “The project is partly influenced by the classic townhouse but, instead of using the usual block formation, the assembly follows a layered orientation: the apartments and gardens are placed on top of commercial and trade layers, which provide services at the base of the building. to provide each units with an individualistic quality of their own, the ‘8 house’ is pulled up in the north east corner and pushed down in the south west, ensuring an ample amount of sunlight, fresh air, and views of kalvebod fælled. the figure eight configuration of the building creates a moment of synergy as well as two distinct spaces in the court- yard. a 500 m2 communal facility is placed at the centre of the intersection while a 9 meter wide passageway at the same point connects the two surrounding urban spaces outside of the residential project: the park to the west and the channels to the east. to maximize a sense of community for the future inhabitants, the architecture weaves the shared facilities throughout the whole building from ground level to roof. a system of gardens, trees and paths provide a branch of access points to these programs, ending at the 11 storey-high rooftop where you can enjoy a view of the Copenhagen Canal.” http://www.designboom.com/architecture/big-architects-8-house-under-construction/ JACK R.

At the central “knot,” they created a 30-foot-wide passageway that connects the east and west sides of the site. They then layered the components of the program one on top of the other like a cake: Com- mercial uses, including retail space, a café, a day care center, and offices, are placed near the base, so that they can benefit from direct contact with the street, while the different types of apartments — townhouses, flats, and penthouses — are stacked above. http://archrecord.construction.com/projects/portfolio/2011/08/8-House.asp#sthash.WFSRH3ST.dpuf Level 4 Level 10 http://www.archdaily.com/83307/8-house-big/ 7 Circulation Diagrams http://www.dezeen.com/2010/10/22/8-house-by-big-2/ http://www.dezeen.com/2010/10/22/8-house-by-big-2/ http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zFmuQ_12t4A/URPo3G-D00I/AAAAAAAAABA/J9fLLl-DY0Q/s1600/8House-analyse3.jpg http://www.designboom.com/architecture/big-archi- tects-8-house-under-construction/ 8 Architect Model http://www.designboom.com/architecture/big-architects-8-house-under-construction/ 9 Structure: Grid http://www.archello.com//sites/default/files/story/attachment/T-A-99-E0-1-01.pdf 10 Structure: Sections http://www.archdaily.com/83307/8-house-big/ http://www.designboom.com/architecture/big-architects-8-house-under-construction/ http://www.dezeen.com/2010/10/22/8-house-by-big-2/ http://www.archdaily.com/83307/8-house-big/ 11 Structure: Details http://www.archdaily.com/83307/8-house-big/ http://www.designboom.com/architecture/big-archi- http://www.archdaily.com/83307/8-house-big/ tects-8-house-under-construction/ 12 Views In and Out http://www.archdaily.com/83307/8-house-big/ http://www.archdaily.com/83307/8-house-big/ “And in order to provide the residential units with daylight and views of marshes and grazing lands that sit directly to the south, they raised the build- ing’s northeast corner to 10 stories, sloping it to only one story at the diagonally opposite corner by stepping down each successive line of apart- ments”- http://archrecord.construction.com/projects/portfolio/2011/08/8-House.asp#sthash.WFSRH3ST.dpuf 13 Interior Space http://www.dezeen.com/2010/10/22/8-house-by-big-2/ 14 Green Roof The 8 House project won the 2010 Scandinavian Green Roof Award.

  • The Durst Organization Commissions Stephen Glassman to Create Grand-Scale Artwork to Complement New Bjarke Ingels Group Mixed-Use Residence, VIA 57 West
    The Durst Organization Commissions Stephen Glassman to Create Grand-Scale Artwork to complement new Bjarke Ingels Group Mixed-Use Residence, VIA 57 West Inspired by the Adjacent Hudson River, Flows Two Ways Sculpture Connects the Built and Natural Environments Los Angeles, CA – February 9, 2016 - Stephen Glassman Studio (SGStudio) today announced a commission from The Durst Organization (TDO) for a monumental outdoor sculpture for Manhattan’s new “superblock” development, 57 West, located at West 57th Street between 11th and 12th Avenues. Flows Two Ways (2016) is TDO’s first site-specific commission, and continues the organization’s enduring support of the arts. Scaling eight stories at sixty-by-sixty feet, the work will denote the main entrance to VIA 57 WEST, the torqued tetrahedral residential and mixed-use “courtscraper” that marks Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG)’s first project in the Americas. Installation will begin in March 2016 in anticipation of VIA’s spring opening. The work is named after a loose translation of the Hudson River’s Native American name, Muh-he-kun-ne-tuk – “the river that flows both ways” and serves as a metaphor for two forces that are separate yet connected: the river and the city. Flows Two Ways marks Glassman’s first permanent large-scale New York work. “The history of sculpture and skyscraper in New York City is unique and powerful, and I’m honored to be working with the Dursts and BIG on this project,” said artist Stephen Glassman. “As a New York native, the movement to save the Hudson River was formative in my growth as an artist intent on creating works of scale and social impact.

  • Mountain Dwellings: Category Winner of World Architecture Festival 2008
    Mountain Dwellings: Category Winner of World Architecture Festival 2008 Looking at the splendid photos of this building, what would you imagine? Is it a public building or a residential building? Or else? Named as Mountain Dwellings, this building is located in the Orestad, 33.000 m2, a new urban development in Copenhagen, Denmark. It contains housing (1/3)and parking (2/3) in combining successfully the splendours of the suburban backyard with the social intensity of urban density. Its visual appearance is stunning. The nice architecture design and success construction have enabled it to be the Category Winner of World Architecture Festival 2008 (http://www.worldbuildingsdirectory.com/project.cfm?id=755). What makes this project comfortable for living is that the parking area is connected to the street, and all apartments have roof gardens facing the sun, amazing views and parking on the 10th floor. The Mountain Dwellings appear as a suburban neighbourhood of garden homes, floating over a 10-storey building - suburban living with urban density. The residents of the 80 apartments will be the first in Orestaden to have the possibility of parking directly outside their homes. The gigantic parking area contains 480 parking spots and a sloping elevator that moves along the mountain’s inner walls. In some places the ceiling height is up to 16 meters which gives the impression of a cathedral-like space. The color design from facade to floor during the day and during the night makes the building unique from architectural point of view. Sika contributed in the decorative colour design of Mountain Dwellings.

  • Generali Real Estate and Citylife Presented the New Project
    The new gateway to CityLife Air, light, greenery and open spaces: a project designed for people and the city The global studio BIG-BJARKE INGELS GROUP has designed the new project Milan, 15 November 2019 - CityLife today presented the new project that marks the start of the district completion phase and that will create a new gateway to CityLife and the city. Selected following an international competition between major design and architectural studios, the project was created by the studio BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group. The project envisages the creation of two buildings joined by a roof with an urban-scale portico that, framing the three existing towers without reaching their height, will create a new gateway to CityLife from Largo Domodossola through an extensive green area that will further enrich the liveability of the district and constitute a new aspect of restoration for the City of Milan. A project designed for people that creates a bridge between private and public spaces. The roof will not only be an element forming a structural connection between the two buildings, but will also create a shaded public realm activated by street furniture and green spaces that can be used year-round. The architectural intervention was designed to open up and fully integrate the district, starting from the existing space and context. The new CityLife gateway will be integrated with the urban areas, the streets and the existing road network, creating a continuum between the district and the city. The new building will stand on an area of around 53,000 square metres (GFA) more than 200 metres long, with a characteristic portico structure that will be 18 metres wide at its narrowest point.

Corporate social responsibility – to some, just modern buzz words. But, at BIG, it a way of doing business. It is BIG’s way of doing business, across the business and we, the 8 partners, are pleased to place our signatures herewith to assure Global Compact that we are committed to the continuous respect for the human race and its environment. as our reach becomes increasingly international, we have the ears of more individuals, government leaders and industry colleagues. our ideas spread and new collaborations become possible. More ideas are shared across companies, allowing for increased idea development, as it is the lack of innovation which impedes achieving solutions.

We architects don’t control the city – we can only aspire to intervene. architecture evolves from the collision of political, economical, functional, logistical, cultural, structural, environmental and social interests, as well as interest yet unnamed and unforeseen.
