Career

Suggest edit
Founded BIG in 2005. The Mountain Dwellings (Copenhagen, 2008), 8 House (2010), VIA 57 West (NYC, 2016), Lego House (Billund, 2017), CopenHill — a power station with a public ski slope on the roof (2019).

Style

Suggest edit
BIG markets a buoyant, explainable, narrative-led architecture: every building has a one-liner concept ("a courtyard block tilted into a mountain"). Critics call it pop architecture; admirers call it accessible.

Legacy

Suggest edit
Not yet a Pritzker laureate — included here as a marker of contemporary architectural celebrity.
