BIG - kimball art center . park city . ut. Kimball Art Center . Park City . UT In approaching the design for the new Kimball Art Center, we found great inspiration in the urban development of Park City, the Kimball site, and the city’s mining heritage. We feel the form of the new Kimball Art Center emerges where these rich stories overlap.
We were particularly moved when a long-time resident of Park City spoke nostalgically about the former Coalition Building, which once stood just south of the Kimball site. It stood 80 feet tall for 80 years as an iconic landmark for Park City and a monument to the mining heritage, until a fire tragically brought it down in 1982.
We wanted to recreate some of its attributes in the new Kimball Art Center - not only the proportions and materiality but the history it represented. Historically, timber was the primary construction material of the first miner settlers in Park City. BIG. Big Located on the edge of Gärdet, a treasured national park, Kullen makes conscious decisions to provide a sensitive, respectful form while allowing the same choices to simultaneously manifest as exceptional residences with spectacular views. In direct response to the context, the northwest and southeast corners take the heights of their immediate neighbors; while the northeast corner, farthest from the park and nominally with the worst view, is pulled upwards to grant it the most spectacular views of park and port.
The southwest point of the building extends farthest into Gärdet; and to create a humane edge between building and nature, is pushed down to the lowest profile, transforming it into a public platform with a 270 degree view of parkscape and simultaneously freeing the majority of the residential units to views of the park.

Sanprogetto Since the methane molecule inspired Primo Palazzo Uffici in the 1950’s, each decade has added a perfect structure to the ENI campus making it an accumulation of office icons of almost molecular organizational clarity. As Methanopolis begins to merge with San Donato it is commencing a gradual transformation from office park to urban neighborhood. Fenced off industrial complexes start to give way to more urban sequences of squares and plazas, streets and parks.
BIG natural history museum . copenhagen. How do you approach an existing built heritage without ending up with a classic dichotomy between the old versus the new? Rather than trying to add new buildings to existing structures, we propose to add a man-made landscape of stones to the existing buildings in the Botanical Garden. The new Natural History Museum’s architecture will not compete with the existing built heritage. We propose a Natural History Museum as a man-made mineral landscape that naturally adapts to the historic buildings and their stone pavings and the organic forms of the Botanical Garden - a Geological Garden of building and landscape. The new museum extension in the Botanical Garden requires a synthesis crisscrossing between urban form, architecture and landscape design, science, storytelling, communication and research.

It will announce the entry point into downtown Vancouver from Granville Bridge, forming a gateway to the city. The tower and base are a new interpretation of the local typology deemed ‘Vancouverism’ of a new urbanist podium coupled with a slender tower, which seeks to preserve view cones through the city while activating the pedestrian street.

Spesso nel nostro studio il processo di brainstorming comincia con un’analisi arida e poi, una volta esaminati i fatti, cerchiamo gli elementi buffi o surreali, perché se qualcosa riesce a sorprendere te potrebbe sorprendere anche il mondo intero... / The genesis of something funny and something brilliant or innovative or paradigm changing are very similar.
Quite often the brainstorming process in our office starts with a dry analysis and then once we look at the facts we search for things that are surreal or funny, because if there is something surprising to you, it might also be surprising to the world...
