BIG is a Copenhagen, New York, London and Barcelona based group of architects, designers, builders, and thinkers operating within the fields of architecture, urbanism, interior design, landscape design, product design, research and development. The office is currently involved in numerous projects throughout Europe, America, Asia and the Middle East. BIG’s architecture emerges out of a careful ana

lysis of how contemporary life constantly evolves and changes. 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.

"For the new STEM university in Bentonville, we've designed a campus that supports the full student experience. Each of the three buildings – the residence hall, academic building, and makerspace – fosters a different element of campus life, from study and collaboration to experimentation and innovation. Just as the buildings connect the different aspects of the collegiate experience, they also naturally connect the campus to downtown Bentonville through warm, natural materials suited to the Ozark region: weathered steel for the industrial makerspace, copper that will age gracefully over time for the refined academic building, and red-hued cement panels for the residence hall." - Thomas Christoffersen, Partner, BIG

Together with members of the Walton family, we're giving form to the future of learning with a new university in Northwest Arkansas!

As Bentonville continues to evolve as a destination for culture and innovation, the STEM-focused university establishes an entirely new world-class learning institution to cultivate the next generation of innovators rooted in the region. Designed by BIG and Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects, the campus extends downtown Bentonville onto the site of the former Walmart Home Office, comprised of three distinctive buildings connected by a spine of active public plazas and green spaces: a 130,614-sq-ft makerspace envisioned as a flexible innovation hub that anchors campus life; a 147,525-sq-ft academic building inspired by Ozark vernacular architecture, designed to create dialogue across disciplines; and a student residential building organized as a figure eight, carved around two generous outdoor courtyards. The university intends to welcome its first class of students in 2029 and to have tuition fully covered in its initial years of operation.

“The new STEM university in downtown Bentonville seeks to bridge the disconnect that often exists between academia and the working world around it. For the new campus, we have sought to break down the boundaries between campus and community through a lively new integrated neighborhood for faculty and citizens alike. The makerspace is conceived as an inhabited showcase, displaying a culture of physical experimentation and rapid prototyping to the passing citizens. It is our hope that this integration of the campus into the community will make higher education as accessible as possible, academically as well as socially.

We are honored to work with the Walton family on imagining the future academic environment for a new kind of urban university in the heart of Bentonville.” – Bjarke Ingels (BIG), Founder & Creative Director, BIG

We are incredibly honored that The Plus has received the RIBA International Awards for Excellence 2026 🏆💚

Constructed in just 18 months for Vestre, the 7,000 m² facility is built from local mass timber, low-carbon concrete, and recycled steel, and is the first Nordic industrial building to achieve the highest environmental rating. Located in the Norwegian woods, The Plus is conceived as a cross-shaped composition of four production halls – a warehouse, color factory, wood factory, and assembly hall - that meet at the center. At its heart, an open courtyard forms a shared space for both production and public life, bringing daylight deep into the building while framing views across the factory floor. Surrounding it, each hall is defined by its own color, extending from machinery onto the floors to create an intuitive map of how furniture is made. From all four sides, visitors and staff are invited to move through the surrounding 300-acre forest park, with paths leading up onto the roof and back into the landscape.

"We are deeply honored that the Royal Institute of British Architects has acknowledged our design for Vestre's factory The Plus with a RIBA International Awards for Excellence. In all its simplicity, The Plus seeks to explore and showcase how economic growth and ecological sustainability can go hand in hand, by designing and building it as the most environmentally friendly factory in the world. Built from locally sourced timber, powered by local hydroelectricity, geothermal and photovoltaics, covered in locally sourced turf and displacing the bare minimum of forest, the factory has the smallest and gentlest environmental footprint possible. As a positive social side effect, factory workers, leadership, customers, and collaborators alike get to experience the joy of making furniture in the middle of the forest, making it blatantly evident that sustainable manufacturing is not only better for the environment but also more enjoyable for the people who practice it. A literal architectural manifestation of our philosophy of hedonistic sustainability." - Bjarke Ingels, Founder & Creative Director, BIG

"We're absolutely thrilled. We were certainly hoping for this but never taking it for granted. To be recognized by RIBA is a huge honor, and I'm incredibly proud of everyone who has contributed to making The Plus what it is today. This award is a recognition of BIG’s visionary architecture and of the close collaboration between architects, engineers, contractors, and our own team that brought the project to life. With The Plus, we wanted to challenge conventional ideas of what a factory can be. Not just an efficient production facility, but a place where architecture, people, nature, and industry come together. This award demonstrates that sustainability, transparency and high productivity can go hand in hand, and it gives us even more motivation in our ambition to become the world’s most sustainable furniture manufacturer." - Bjørn Fjellstad, CEO, Vestre

Thank you to Royal Institute of British Architects and the jury for this recognition!

BIG has unveiled the vision for EVE Music Hall as construction nears completion in eastern Croatia 🎷🎼

Presented during an event on site featuring a special performance by pianist Peter Bence, the 10,000-m² project will center on a live music venue, but also feature congress facilities, exhibition spaces, a café, and rooftop for events. Set among the agricultural landscapes of Slavonia, the building is composed of two distinct halls connected by a shared public foyer. Clad in slabs of local limestone, the facade drapes toward the ground like theatrical curtains, framing entrances and revealing glimpses of the activity within, while suspended timber beams and mirrored surfaces shape the atmosphere of the interior.

“The EVE Music Hall is conceived as a musical eruption on the infinite horizon of the Slavonian fields. Two concert halls, one big and one small, frame a public space between them. Facades of timber and stone are draped like fabrics, merging the verticality of the halls with the horizontality of the landscape. Slits in the stone curtains open up, inviting visitors to enter and explore. The main foyer is framed by the two mirror-clad walls of the concert halls, repeating the tent-like timber roof at infinity. The architectural whole is both functional and fantastical, like an architectural manifestation of utopian pragmatism. It is an embodiment of the almost oxymoronic contradiction of the bold ambition to build a regional cultural destination in the middle of the Slavonian countryside.” - Bjarke Ingels, Founder & Creative Director, BIG

Scheduled to open in early 2027, EVE Music Hall marks our first project in Croatia and is expected to become the our first completed music performance venue.

New Athletics ballpark loading…🏗️⚾

Set to open for the 2028 MLB season, the new ballpark will sit between Tropicana and Reno Avenues and hold 33,000 fans, featuring an expansive cable-net glass wall that frames panoramic views of the Las Vegas Strip. Designed by BIG in collaboration with HNTB, the covered ballpark is accentuated by five overlapping roofs resembling baseball pennants, shielding fans and players from direct sunlight while still allowing filtered natural light to stream in through clerestory windows. Inspired by the intimacy of historic ballparks like Fenway and Wrigley, the tiered design brings fans closer to home plate, with clear sight lines from every seat in the split upper and lower bowls.

The Tirpitz Museum transforms a former German WWII bunker into a cultural destination embedded within the protected dune landscape of Blåvand on the Danish west coast. While the historic bunker remains the site’s central artefact, the new 2,800-m² museum unfolds from it through a series of precise incisions in the terrain. Subtly integrated into the landscape, the extension preserves the surrounding shorelands while integrating the bunker into the broader visitor experience. Together, the bunker and museum house four exhibitions within a single continuous structure.

Coined 'the invisible museum', Tirpitz attracted a record number of visitors following its opening and remains a key cultural anchor in the area, which has since seen the opening of the BIG-designed Marsk Tower and FLUGT - Refugee Museum of Denmark

We’re proud to share that our East Side Coastal Resiliency project has received an AIANY and ASLA NY Transportation + Infrastructure Design Excellence Award!

Emerging from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Rebuild by Design competition, ESCR's ribbon of green spaces along Manhattan’s east side protect over 110,000 New Yorkers from future storms while strengthening the neighborhood's connection to the East River. Bringing together new areas for play and gathering with layered flood protection and new pedestrian bridges, the 'parkipelago' transforms the waterfront into a more vibrant, resilient, and accessible public space. And with warm weather arriving in New York, there's no better time to enjoy the new parkland! 🌳

ESCR was designed and developed under the leadership of the New York City Department of Design and Construction in collaboration with MNLA, One Architecture & Urbanism, AKRF, Arcadis North America, Jacobs Solutions Inc., Lower East Side residents, and our many partners.

CityWave is already making its mark on the Milan skyline 🌇

“CityWave is conceived not as a single tower, but as two buildings connected by a sweeping catenary canopy, forming a gateway into CityLife. The architecture carries a distinctly Italian duality: rational and disciplined in its clarity yet unexpectedly majestic when all the elements come together. The canopy not only generates energy, but also creates a generous public realm beneath as a gift to the city of Milan, providing shade from the sun and shelter from the rain. As the canopy climbs the buildings, it also extends the life of the workplace to the outside onto terraces at every level. In this way, the project condenses the qualities of CityLife into a single architectural gesture. To contribute to a city with such an extraordinary architectural heritage is a great privilege, and after visiting the site today, I feel both optimistic and excited for CityWave’s opening by New Year.” - Bjarke Ingels, Founder and Creative Director, BIG

We’re excited to unveil the new home for the Tennessee Performing Arts Center, the future of performance in Music City! 🎶

Designed by BIG, William Rawn Associates, and Hastings Architecture, the new TPAC is situated on a riverfront site in Nashville's reenergized East Bank. The 307,000-sq-ft center invites the community in from every direction, with four performance venues clustered at its core: the multi-function Grand Broadway theater, a dance and opera hall, a flexible black box theater, and an intimate cabaret space, as well as rehearsal studios and classrooms. Extending the city's rich legacy in the arts, the new building will serve as the home of the Nashville Ballet, Nashville Opera, and Nashville Repertory Theatre while creating venues for traveling Broadway shows, dance performances, and community events.

“The new home for the Tennessee Performing Arts Center is designed like an urban and cultural connection – between the east and west bank of the Cumberland River, between the old and the new Nashville, and between all of the performing arts. Visually, it bookends Broadway as a beacon from across the river, drawing the cultural life of downtown across to the East Bank. Designed to be welcoming on all sides, the center is accessible from above and below the bridge, making the lobby a cascading public space for the daily life of the neighborhood. The façade is composed of aluminum tubes bundled like organ pipes or steel chimes, undulating from vertical to horizontal to provide openings and canopies for the audience and performers passing through. The result is like a flowing public pavilion in the park that, as the new home for TPAC, provides the inclusive and inviting character that its program and performances deserve.” - Bjarke Ingels (BIG), Founder & Creative Director, BIG
