Bjarke Ingels, who heads up the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), was in Sydney recently and did a talk at the Australian Institute of Architects, which was sponsored and organized by HASSELL. With the common design values and easy fit between BIG and HASSELL, they make a powerful team. So BIG, whose projects we have published here, visited Sydney to explore the potential for future project collaborations. More information and a video after the break.
As one commentator memorably put it, theory meets pragmatism, meets optimism in the architecture of Bjarke Ingels. All three were on display last night when he spoke at the Australian Institute of Architects in Sydney at an event sponsored by HASSELL. So were the creativity and passion he brings to a wide range of urban renewal and development projects, not just in Denmark where he originates from, but also in Europe, North America and China.
