Bjarke Ingels

Founder

Bjarke Ingels is the founder of BIG. His work is driven by the belief that architecture can be a tool for turning fiction into fact - merging pragmatic solutions with utopian possibilities.

Since founding BIG in 2005, Ingels has led projects that redefine typologies and challenge conventional constraints. From the figure-eight loop of 8 House in Copenhagen, to the hybrid pyramid-courtyard of VIA 57 West in Manhattan, to the skiable waste-to-energy plant CopenHill, his work proposes that sustainable cities can not only be better for the environment, but also more enjoyable to live in.

BIG’s portfolio includes global collaborations with companies like Google, LEGO, and Toyota, as well as public projects such as the Smithsonian Master Plan, the Prague Philharmonic - a cultural landmark for music in motion - and Zurich Airport, the world’s largest timber building, redefining both scale and sustainability in aviation architecture. Across all scales, Ingels advocates for hedonistic sustainability, an approach where ecological responsibility and human enjoyment are not at odds, but mutually reinforcing.

He has taught at Harvard, Yale, and Columbia, and is the author of Yes Is More, a graphic monograph on BIG’s design philosophy. His recognitions include the Knight’s Cross of the Order of the Dannebrog (Denmark), Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (France), the French National Grand Prix for Architecture (Grande Médaille d’Or), the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale, the Louis I. Kahn Award, and the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, as well as being named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People.

He has been the Project Leader on a number of competition winning proposals, including the Amager Bakke / Copenhill waste-to-energy plant in Copenhagen that doubles as a ski slope, Kistefos Art Museum completed in 2019 in Oslo that bridges cross a river, and the LEGO House, which opened its doors to critical acclaim in 2017. Most recently, he has been the partner-in-charge for a 280m tall mixed-use tower in the heart of Singapore that completed in 2022, and a winning scheme of Vltava Philharmonic Prague. With a background in energy efficiency research as well as undergraduate studies in economics, Brian brings additional focus on environmental and economic sustainability into all of his projects. Prior to joining BIG, Brian worked at a number of practices internationally, and while at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design, led a project team for a pavilion exhibited at the 2009 Gwangju Design Biennale in South Korea.

João Albuquerque

Partner, BCN

João Albuquerque began his BIGster journey at BIG Copenhagen in 2008, eventually moving to Barcelona in 2019 to support the establishment of a strong foundation for BIG Barcelona. In 2019 became the Design Director of the Barcelona office and in 2021 was named Partner. Recently, Joao has been leading projects throughout Spain, Portugal, the Mediterranean, and South America – among others, the new office campus for Farfetch in Porto and a new highly sustainable office building in Barcelona. João works effectively in BIG’s creative environment, regularly leading design teams on projects from competitions through Schematic Design and Design Development phases. João brings an incisive approach to exploring the intersection between computational technologies and architecture — programming and parametrics — and applies this research on many scales, from design conceptualization to fabrication and construction. He also has experience working in various typologies such as masterplans, including Europa City in Paris and the winning proposals for cultural neighborhoods in both Qiddya and South Korea; high-rise tower designs, including the completed Shenzhen Energy Mansion in China; cultural designs, including the Adelaide Contemporary Gallery and the Museum of Fine Arts in Bilbao; and research-based projects, such as the new building vernacular for future life on Mars. João completed his Master of Architecture at the University of Sciences and Technology of Coimbra, in Portugal and achieved a post-graduate MAA degree from IAAC in Barcelona, having his thesis project being exhibited at the 2011 Beijing Biennale and the Museu del Disseny of Barcelona.

Martin Voelkle

Partner, NYC

Martin Voelkle is a Partner at BIG who focuses on architecture, sustainable construction and technology. Martin has been leading BIG’s collaboration with ICON Build, a developer of advanced construction technologies, including 3D-printed buildings, which are produced with less waste and in a more expedited manner than typical construction methods. Collaborations with ICON have included affordable housing communities, market rate residential, hospitality and event spaces, and NASA’s Project Olympus - a research base that will be the first lunar surface construction on another planetary body. Martin is also leading BIG’s transportation portfolio with the Zurich International Airport Dock A in Switzerland - a design that celebrates the passenger experience and ease of movement by way of its flexible framework constructed of renewable timber, the largest of its kind - and the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway Central, a reconsideration of the BQE transit corridor through Brooklyn with a focus on accessibility, integration with growing neighborhoods and an incorporated public realm. Martin’s work varies from cultural and infrastructural to residential and commercial, including the Shenzhen Energy Mansion HQ in China; Gowanus active community hub and residence in New York; and the Qianhai Prisma Towers in Shenzhen, China, designed to be a landmark gateway integrated thoughtfully with the existing skyline and public realm. Martin’s design interest and expertise expands to the urban scale with the development of King’s Cross Google HQ in London and Telosa, the vision for a new city in America that sets a global standard for urban planning, expands human potential and becomes a blueprint for future generations and future urban environments. Martin began working at BIG Copenhagen in 2010; he helped build the BIG New York office in 2012; and in 2016 he led the enterprise of BIG’s London office before returning to BIG New York, where he is currently based.
