Ingels Bjarke Yes Is More. An Archicomic on Architectural Evolution
Yes is more is the title of an exhibition and a book presenting B.I.G. in solo format for the first time in Denmark at the Danish architecture centre. Unlike a classic architectural monograph, this book is more of a popular cultural manifesto, which is also literally the first actual documentation of B.I.G.'s trailblazing practice. As the book demonstrates, this is a practice where method, processes, instruments and the approach to the concept of architecture is precisely as wild, unfettered and result-producing as the world it is part of and greets with an unqualified Yes. Bjarke Ingels attracts highly talented co-workers, but also gifted and ambitious clients from all over the world. He does so because his own talent is above all to swiftly create intelligent synergies out of indomitable "movements", wild energies and unforeseen dynamics and transform them into hitherto unseen, surprising, functional, valuable and beautiful solutions to the specific and complex challenges in each task. The results of B.I.G.'s practice has already won awards from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Architecture Biennale, the prize for "The World's Best Housing Project", "Best Building in the Nordic Countries" as well as many other international kudos. The project and the title Yes is more is a double-edged wordplay on the dogma in modern architecture that "less is more". Less is only more as far as dimensions go - the ability to encompass as many dimensions as possible (more) with as few expenses as possible (less). As a design parameter for an aesthetic retro minimalism this only amounts to idiosyncratic architectural idiocy. Издание на английском языке.

BIG. Yes is More. An Archicomic on Architectural Evolution
Yes is More is the easily accessible but unremittingly radical manifesto of Copenhagen-based architectural practice Bjarke Ingels Group, or BIG.Unlike a typical architectural monograph, this book uses the comic book format to express its groundbreaking agenda for contemporary architecture. It is also the first comprehensive documentation of BIG’s trailblazing practice?where method, process, instruments, and concepts are constantly questioned and redefined. Or, as the group itself says:“Historically, architecture has been dominated by two opposing extremes: an avant-garde full of crazy ideas, originating from philosophy or mysticism; and the well organized corporate consultants that build predictable and boring boxes of high standard. Architecture seems entrenched: naively utopian or petrifyingly pragmatic. We believe there is a third way between these diametric opposites: a pragmatic utopian architecture that creates socially, economically, and environmentally perfect places as a practical objective. At BIG we are devoted to investing in the overlap between radical and reality. In all our actions we try to move the focus from the little details to the BIG picture.” Bjarke Ingels attracts highly talented coworkers, but also gifted and ambitious clients from all over the world. He then creates intelligent synergies from wild energies and unforeseen dynamics, and transforms them into surprising, functional, valuable, and beautiful solutions to the specific and complex challenges in each task. BIG projects have won awards from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, and the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Architecture Biennale, as well as many other international prizes. Yes is More is a play on words that represents the company’s ethos and sums up its irreverent attitude towards excessive formalism, and its determination to involve the population at large in its creations. As an extension of its methods and results, its debut monograph uses the most approachable and populist means of communication available?the comic.

Formgiving. An Architectural Future History
BIG’s third installment of its TASCHEN trilogy: Formgiving. An Architectural Future History Formgiving. An Architectural Future History, the new book by BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group), is a visionary attempt to look at the horizon of time. The Danish word for “design” is “formgivning,” which literally means to give form to that which has not yet taken shape. In other words, to give form to the future. Using our power to give form, rather than allowing the future to take shape, is more important now than ever, as humankind’s impact on the planet continues to increase and pose ever greater challenges to all life forms. Architecture plays a special role by proposing spaces for our lives that are fragments of the future in the making. William Gibson’s words embody architecture’s role perfectly: “The future is already here—it’s just not evenly distributed.” With Formgiving, BIG presents the third part of its TASCHEN trilogy, which began with Yes is More, one of the most successful architectural books of its generation, and continued with Hot to Cold. An Odyssey of Architectural Adaptation. The book is presented in a timeline, stretching from the Big Bang into the most distant future. Projects are structured around six strands of evolution—“Making,” “Sensing,” “Sustaining,” “Thinking,” “Healing,” and “Moving”—the multimedia-based, interdisciplinary concepts encompassing the building industry. Culture, climate, and landscape, as well as all the energies derived from the elements—the thermal mass of the ocean, the dynamics of currents, the energy and warmth of the sun, the power of the wind—are incorporated into these projects. Throughout more than 700 pages, Bjarke Ingels presents his personal selection of projects, including the 12,000-square-meter LEGO House in Denmark, the human-made ecosystems floating on oceans, the redesign of a World War II bunker into a contemplative museum, and the ski slope-infused power plant celebrating Copenhagen’s commitment to carbon neutrality. Through architecture and design, BIG gives shape to a sustainable and simultaneously colorful world. Bjarke Ingels: “To feel that we have license to imagine a future different from today, all we have to do is look back ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, to realize how radically different things were then than they are today. The same will be true if we can look ahead with the same clarity of vision. As we tackle the complexities of everyday life, these six evolutionary trajectories allow us to place a firm gaze on the horizon of time to prevent us from being derailed by the random distractions of today. Since we know from our past that our future is bound to be different from our present, rather than waiting for it to take shape on its own, we have the power to give it form.” Formgiving is also a companion volume to the exhibition of the same name, which was conceived at the Danish Architecture Center in Copenhagen and will travel to other venues worldwide. More than 65 projects document BIG’s global work through the eyes of their users, from the drawing board to global construction sites and finished projects. Throughout the book are insights into developments that reach five, ten, or fifty years into the future, and evidence of BIG’s intransigence to reach beyond the ordinary, and beyond worlds, to contribute to the future with each project. Each step not only reveals a world that resembles our dreams but also already tries to realize these dreams pragmatically. We have the power to create the world of tomorrow! The book features: previously unpublished essays by Bjarke Ingels, award-winning photography by Laurian Ghinitoiu, Iwan Baan, and Rasmus Hjortshoj, among others, planetary proposals for habitats on the Moon and research centers on Mars, 20 LEGO master-builder models of BIG’s work, a glimpse of Masterplanet—BIG’s ongoing work on a collective, crowdsourced masterplan guide for sustaining our planet.

Bjarke Ingels Group. BIG. Formgiving. An Architectural Future History
Третья часть из трилогии TASCHEN: Formgiving. Формирование архитектурной истории будущего. Новая книга BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group) «История будущего архитектуры» представляет собой дальновидную попытку заглянуть в горизонт времени. Датское слово «дизайн» — «formgivning», что буквально означает «придавать форму тому, что еще не обрело форму». Другими словами, придать форму будущему. Использование нашей силы для создания формы вместо того, чтобы позволить будущему обрести форму, сейчас важнее, чем когда-либо, поскольку влияние человечества на планету продолжает увеличиваться и ставит все более серьезные задачи перед всеми формами жизни. Архитектура играет особую роль, предлагая пространства для нашей жизни, которые являются фрагментами будущего в процессе создания. Слова Уильяма Гибсона прекрасно отражают роль архитектуры: «Будущее уже наступило, просто оно неравномерно распределено». С Formgiving BIG представляет третью часть своей трилогии TASCHEN, которая началась с Yes is More, одной из самых успешных архитектурных книг своего поколения, и продолжилась Hot to Cold.Одиссея архитектурной адаптации. Книга представлена на временной шкале, простирающейся от Большого взрыва до самого отдаленного будущего. Проекты структурированы вокруг шести направлений эволюции — «Создание», «Чувствование», «Поддержание», «Мышление», «Исцеление» и «Движение» — мультимедийных междисциплинарных концепций, охватывающих строительную отрасль. Культура, климат и ландшафт, а также все энергии, получаемые от стихий — тепловая масса океана, динамика течений, энергия и тепло солнца, сила ветра — включены в эти проекты. На более чем 700 страницах Бьярке Ингельс представляет свою личную подборку проектов, в том числе дом LEGO площадью 12 000 квадратных метров в Дании, искусственные экосистемы, плавающие в океанах, переделку бункера времен Второй мировой войны в созерцательный музей и электростанция на горнолыжном склоне в честь приверженности Копенгагена углеродной нейтральности. Благодаря архитектуре и дизайну BIG формирует устойчивый и одновременно красочный мир.Бьярке Ингельс: «Чтобы почувствовать, что у нас есть право представлять себе будущее, отличное от сегодняшнего, все, что нам нужно сделать, — это оглянуться на десять лет, на сто, на тысячу лет назад, чтобы понять, насколько радикально все было иначе, чем сегодня. То же самое будет, если мы сможем смотреть вперед с такой же ясностью видения. Когда мы сталкиваемся со сложностями повседневной жизни, эти шесть эволюционных траекторий позволяют нам пристально вглядываться в горизонт времени, чтобы не дать нам сойти с рельсов случайными отвлекающими факторами сегодняшнего дня. Поскольку мы знаем из нашего прошлого, что наше будущее обязательно будет отличаться от нашего настоящего, вместо того, чтобы ждать, пока оно сформируется само по себе, мы можем придать ему форму».Formgiving также дополняет одноименную выставку, задуманную в Датском архитектурном центре в Копенгагене и посетившую другие места по всему миру.

Jodidio Philip Small Houses
A sweeping survey of small-scale architectural invention A Small House is a tribute to the endless artistic inventiveness of architects and ingenuity of perception of the familiar and known concepts. It is also a conscious pivot towards sustainability and reduction of impact on the environment as well as a daring attitude of change in lifestyle. As humanity faces inevitable pressures such as climate change, an increase in population, and strain on resources, these solutions are helping shape what the world may look like in the future. Whether in the dense urban areas of Tokyo, the wilderness of Australia, the woods of Canada, or a rooftop in Ecuador, this is the world of Small Houses. The one common point they share, is that they all have an area of no more than 100 square meters. Spanning 25 countries such as Brazil, Hungary, South Korea, Netherlands, USA, Japan, and Australia, described here there are houses designed by 57 architects, including Takeshi Hosaka’s Love2 House, Aranza de Arino’s Casa Tiny, and the work of Jakub Szczesny, Charles Pictet, Lada Hrsak, BIG, and Fran Silvestre, among others. This is a journey not only through recent evolutions in architectural design and creativity, but it is also a step toward a more sustainable world.
