丹麦BIG建筑事务所

事务所简介

BIG建筑事务所是一个由500余名建筑设计师、城市规划师、室内及产品设计师、景观设计师、研究及发明者等不同领域的行业专家组成的国际化设计团队，专家成员分布于哥本哈根、纽约、伦敦、巴塞罗那和深圳。该事务所目前参与了欧洲、北美、亚洲和中东地区的大量项目。BIG的设计来源于对当代生活如何不断演变和变化的仔细分析，尤其是由于多元文化交流、全球经济流动和通信技术的影响，所有这些都需要新的建筑和城市组织方式。为了应对当今的挑战，建筑可以有益地进入一个很大程度上尚未探索的领域。一个务实的乌托邦建筑，避开了乏味的盒子的僵化实用主义和数字形式主义的naïve乌托邦思想。就像一种程序化炼金术的形式，他们通过混合传统的元素，如生活、休闲、工作、停车和购物来创造建筑。通过触及实用主义和乌托邦之间的丰富重叠，事务所的建筑师们再次找到改变我们星球表面的自由，以更好地适应当代生活形式。BIG已经建成的项目有深圳新能源大厦总部、新加坡大厦、特斯联重庆总部AI城，专注推动人工智能、机器人、网络和大数据的关系。BIG建筑事务所为丰田汽车公司设计的规划方案——Woven City“编织之城”将是世界上首个致力于移动领域各方面发展的城市孵化器。人类憧憬着未来可以生活在漂浮城市，乘坐超音速Hyperloop One城市交通游览月球和火星！BIG的作品已经获得了包括丹麦皇家艺术学院奖、意大利威尼斯建筑双年展评委会特别奖、世界最佳住宅、北欧国家最佳建筑奖等一系列国际奖项。

BIG IDEAS——信息驱动设计

BIG的设计过程总是从确定项目的关键标准开始：什么是最大的问题？什么是最大的潜力?所有的决定都是基于项目特定的信息——信息驱动设计，而不是武断的美学或风格偏见。

作为建筑师，BIG的工作置于分析和实现之间的机会窗口中。他们的影响发生在信息到材料的转化过程中。为了增加对建筑环境的影响范围，BIG建立了BIG IDEAS。BIG IDEAS是一个内部技术驱动的特殊项目单元，将建筑师的传统工作范围扩展到信息和材料领域。BIG IDEAS通过三个特定领域探索数字和物质领域的新知识领域。

产品设计

另一方面，当设计智能体现在物质世界时，BIG越来越多地遇到他们的想象力被限制在已经存在的东西上面。通过与KiBiSi的合作——BIG与Kilo design和Skibsted Ideation的设计合作——他们探索了个人技术、城市交通和家具。有了BIG IDEAS，他们认为可以缩小差距，真正让他们对产品设计的兴趣成为在建筑上努力的字面上延伸。“周五智能锁”是与“周五家居”合作开发的最新产品。

技术模拟

由于日光分析直接影响建筑的几何形状，以及热暴露和建筑围护结构的研究，BIG越来越依赖技术模拟，这在传统上是工程范围的一部分。为了加快设计和分析之间、尝试和错误之间的反馈循环，BIG已经将环境分析内化到他们自己的办公室。日光、阳光、热暴露、气流、湍流、风、空间句法和交通流都是BIG现在控制的技术模拟，使他们能够根据周围的力量做出设计。BIG仍然与最好的技术专家合作，以进入行业的前沿，但他们发现有必要自己学会使用数字设计工具。这不仅仅是建筑信息管理或数字辅助设计，环境模拟也必须要成为建筑工具包的一部分。

从“深圳能源总部”到“韩华光伏工厂”，再到“法国人体博物馆”（Cité du Corps Humain），BIG的调查为他们提供了参数化设计引擎，使他们能够定制建筑围网和立面几何形状，以应对全球不同的气候条件。BIG的扩展参数化设计工具正在帮助他们开始通过没有引擎的工程来形成乡土建筑2.0。

特殊项目

与其接受来自建筑范围的限制，太晚开始和太早离开，错过了研究和生产，BIG IDEAS开始了探索数字和物质领域的新知识领域的新旅程。

在与丹麦技术大学的合作中，BIG IDEAS重新为哥本哈根发电厂设计了巨型烟圈。

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 naïve 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 façade 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.
