Yes Is More: The BIG Philosophy. Anders Møller is the co-founder of GRASP Magazine, where this article was originally published. What has the internationally awarded Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) to do with Friederich Nietzsche and Charles Darwin? Quite a lot, according to founder Bjarke Ingels, who has created a powerful mixture of Nietzsche and Darwin as the philosophical foundation of BIG’s architecture. Read Anders Møller’s fascinating article on BIG’s unusual philosophy, after the break… When the Danish architect Bjarke Ingels presents the architecture of BIG, he is known for being quite a presenter. With concepts like Hedonistic Sustainability, Vertical Suburbia and Utopian Pragmatism, the architectural pieces are related to contradictions and paradoxes, presented in fascinating stories.
To Bjarke Ingels, conflicts of society are the main ingredients in the analytical work of creating architecture. This is what BIG understands with Utopian Pragmatism. Pleasing is normally not synonymous with being radical. Design | Interiors. Beyond the show. Revue Urbanisme.
