事務所簡介
BIG建筑事務所是一個由500余名建筑設計師、城市規劃師、室內及產品設計師、景觀設計師、研究及發明者等不同領域的行業專家組成的國際化設計團隊,專家成員分布于哥本哈根、紐約、倫敦、巴塞羅那和深圳。該事務所目前參與了歐洲、北美、亞洲和中東地區的大量項目。BIG的設計來源于對當代生活如何不斷演變和變化的仔細分析,尤其是由于多元文化交流、全球經濟流動和通信技術的影響,所有這些都需要新的建筑和城市組織方式。為了應對當今的挑戰,建筑可以有益地進入一個很大程度上尚未探索的領域。一個務實的烏托邦建筑,避開了乏味的盒子的僵化實用主義和數字形式主義的na?ve烏托邦思想。就像一種程序化煉金術的形式,他們通過混合傳統的元素,如生活、休閑、工作、停車和購物來創造建筑。通過觸及實用主義和烏托邦之間的豐富重疊,事務所的建筑師們再次找到改變我們星球表面的自由,以更好地適應當代生活形式。BIG已經建成的項目有深圳新能源大廈總部、新加坡大廈、特斯聯重慶總部AI城,專注推動人工智能、機器人、網絡和大數據的關系。BIG建筑事務所為豐田汽車公司設計的規劃方案——Woven City“編織之城”將是世界上首個致力于移動領域各方面發展的城市孵化器。人類憧憬著未來可以生活在漂浮城市,乘坐超音速Hyperloop One城市交通游覽月球和火星!BIG的作品已經獲得了包括丹麥皇家藝術學院獎、意大利威尼斯建筑雙年展評委會特別獎、世界最佳住宅、北歐國家最佳建筑獎等一系列國際獎項。
BIG IDEAS——信息驅動設計
BIG的設計過程總是從確定項目的關鍵標準開始:什么是最大的問題?什么是最大的潛力?所有的決定都是基于項目特定的信息——信息驅動設計,而不是武斷的美學或風格偏見。
作為建筑師,BIG的工作置于分析和實現之間的機會窗口中。他們的影響發生在信息到材料的轉化過程中。為了增加對建筑環境的影響范圍,BIG建立了BIG IDEAS。BIG IDEAS是一個內部技術驅動的特殊項目單元,將建筑師的傳統工作范圍擴展到信息和材料領域。BIG IDEAS通過三個特定領域探索數字和物質領域的新知識領域。
產品設計
另一方面,當設計智能體現在物質世界時,BIG越來越多地遇到他們的想象力被限制在已經存在的東西上面。通過與KiBiSi的合作——BIG與Kilo design和Skibsted Ideation的設計合作——他們探索了個人技術、城市交通和家具。有了BIG IDEAS,他們認為可以縮小差距,真正讓他們對產品設計的興趣成為在建筑上努力的字面上延伸。“周五智能鎖”是與“周五家居”合作開發的最新產品。
技術模擬
由于日光分析直接影響建筑的幾何形狀,以及熱暴露和建筑圍護結構的研究,BIG越來越依賴技術模擬,這在傳統上是工程范圍的一部分。為了加快設計和分析之間、嘗試和錯誤之間的反饋循環,BIG已經將環境分析內化到他們自己的辦公室。日光、陽光、熱暴露、氣流、湍流、風、空間句法和交通流都是BIG現在控制的技術模擬,使他們能夠根據周圍的力量做出設計。BIG仍然與最好的技術專家合作,以進入行業的前沿,但他們發現有必要自己學會使用數字設計工具。這不僅僅是建筑信息管理或數字輔助設計,環境模擬也必須要成為建筑工具包的一部分。
從“深圳能源總部”到“韓華光伏工廠”,再到“法國人體博物館”(Cité du Corps Humain),BIG的調查為他們提供了參數化設計引擎,使他們能夠定制建筑圍網和立面幾何形狀,以應對全球不同的氣候條件。BIG的擴展參數化設計工具正在幫助他們開始通過沒有引擎的工程來形成鄉土建筑2.0。
特殊項目
與其接受來自建筑范圍的限制,太晚開始和太早離開,錯過了研究和生產,BIG IDEAS開始了探索數字和物質領域的新知識領域的新旅程。
在與丹麥技術大學的合作中,BIG IDEAS重新為哥本哈根發電廠設計了巨型煙圈。

ABOUT BIG
BIG is a Copenhagen,New York,London,Barcelona and Shenzhen based group of architects,designers,urbanists,landscape professionals,interior and product designers,researchers and inventors.The office is currently involved in a large number of projects throughout Europe,North America,Asia and the Middle East.BIG’s architecture emerges out of a careful analysis of how contemporary life constantly evolves and changes.Not least due to the influence from multicultural exchange,global economical flows and communication technologies,that all together require new ways of architectural and urban organization.We believe that in order to deal with today’s challenges,architecture can profitably move into a field that has been largely unexplored.A pragmatic utopian architecture that steers clear of the petrifying pragmatism of boring boxes and the na?ve utopian ideas of digital formalism.Like a form of programmatic alchemy,we create architecture by mixing conventional ingredients such as living,leisure,working,parking and shopping.By hitting the fertile overlap between pragmatic and utopia,we architects once again find the freedom to change the surface of our planet,to better fit contemporary life forms.
BIG IDEAS– Information Driven Design
BIG’s design process always starts by identifying the key criteria of a project: What is the biggest problem– what is the greatest potential? Rather than arbitrary aesthetic or stylistic prejudice,all decisions are based on project specific information– Information Driven Design.
Our effort as architects is sandwiched in the window of opportunity between analysis and implementation.And our influence happens in the translation from information to material.In an attempt to increase our sphere of influence on our built environment,we have established BIG IDEAS.

BIG IDEAS is an internal technology driven special projects unit,expanding the traditional scope of the architect into the realm of information and material.BIG IDEAS explores new intellectual territory in both the digital and material realm through three specific areas.
PRODUCT DESIGN
On the other end of the spectrum where the design intelligence gets manifested into the material world,we have increasingly encountered that our imagination was limited to what was already on the shelves.Through our collaboration as part of KiBiSi– our design partnership with Kilo Design and Skibsted Ideation– we have explored personal technology,urban mobility and furniture.With BIG IDEAS we feel we can close the gap and really make our interest in product design a literal extension of our efforts in architecture.The Friday Smart Lock is the latest product developed in partnership with Friday Home.
TECHNICAL SIMULATION
As daylight analysis directly influences the building geometry and as studies of thermal exposure,conditions the building envelope,we are increasingly relying on technical simulations that would traditionally be part of the engineering scope.To speed up the feedback loop between design and analysis,between trial and error,we have internalized the environmental analysis into our own office.Daylight,sunshine,thermal exposure,airflow,turbulence,wind,space syntax and traffic flow are technical simulations we now control to enable ourselves to make designs that are literally shaped by the forces that surround them.We still collaborate with the best technical experts to tap into the cutting edge at the horizon of the profession,but we have found it necessary to educate ourselves to wield the digital tools of design.Not just building information management or digitally aided design but also environmental simulation must become part of our architectural tool kit.Our line of investigations from the Shenzhen Energy Headquarters to the Hanwha PV Plant to the Cité du Corps Humain,has provided us with a parametric design engine that allows us to tailor building envelopes and fa?ade geometries to respond to different climate conditions across the globe.Our expanded parametric design tools are helping us start to formulate a vernacular architecture 2.0 through engineering without engines.
SPECIAL PROJECTS
Rather than accepting the inhibitions from the architectural scope starting too late and leaving too early– missing out on both research and production–with BIG IDEAS were are starting a new journey to explore new intellectual territory in both the digital and material realm.
In collaboration with Danish Technical University BIG IDEAS resurrected the idea of the giant smoke rings for the Copenhagen Power plant.
