Bjarke Ingels (born 2 October 1974) is a Danish architect. He heads the architectural practice Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) which he founded in 2005. In 2009 he co-founded the design consultancy KiBiSi. Known for his innovative and ambitious designs and projects, many of his buildings defy traditional architectural conventions and dimensions, and are often highly photogenic, ranging from representations of mountains to snowflakes. He often incorporates sustainable development ideas and sociological concepts into his designs, but tries to achieve a balance between the playful and practical approaches to architecture.〔("BIG Architects: The Danish Firm Keeps Breaking New Ground in Architecture" ), ''ThinkDesign''. Retrieved 14 October 2012.〕 His trademarks include sloped lines and designs that are shaped to their surroundings. Amongst his works are Islands Brygge Harbour Bath, a series of five open-air swimming pools in Copenhagen Harbour (2003) and three major housing projects in Ørestad on the southern outskirts of Copenhagen: VM Houses (2005), multi-family housing in V and M shaped apartment buildings; Mountain Dwellings (2008), an extensive parking facility combined with terraced housing; and 8 House (2010), a large mixed-use housing development. Since 2009, Ingels has won numerous architectural competitions and has grown in international scope and acclaim. In October 2011, the ''Wall Street Journal'' named Ingels the Innovator of the Year for architecture and, in July 2012, cited him as "rapidly becoming one of the design world's rising stars" in light of his extensive international projects. Successes abroad include the Danish pavilion at EXPO 2010 in Shanghai, China, and projects for the New Tamayo Museum, Atizapán de Zaragoza, Mexico (2009), New Tallinn City Hall, Tallinn, Estonia (2009), Shenzhen International Energy Mansion, Shenzhen, China (2009) and the Faroe Islands Education Centre, Torshavn, (2009). His zero-emission resort and entertainment city project on Zira Island off the coast of Baku, Azerbaijan, which represents the seven mountains of Azerbaijan, has been cited as "one of the world's largest eco-developments." Among Ingels' most well known and recent projects are the VIA (West 57) apartment project in Manhattan; the Google North Bayshore headquarters (co-designed with Thomas Heatherwick); Superkilen and the Amager Bakke Waste-to-Energy Plant, both in Copenhagen; in 2012 Ingels has moved to New York City to overlook VIA and his other current North American engagements. In 2014 Ingels also introduced BIG Ideas as an internal, technology driven special projects unit at Bjarke Ingels Group. ==Early life and background== Ingels was born in Copenhagen in 1974 to an engineer father and a dentist mother.〔 Hoping to become a cartoonist, he began to study architecture in 1993 at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts as he thought it would help him to improve his drawing skills. Only after he had been studying for a couple of years did he really take an interest in architecture.〔(Ellen Bokkinga, "Bjarke Ingels: a BIG architect with a mission" ), ''TedX Amsterdam'' Retrieved 8 October 2012.〕 He continued his studies at the Escola Tècnica Superior d'Arquitectura in Barcelona, and returned to Copenhagen to receive his diploma in 1999.〔("Barje Ingels: The European Prize for Architecture" ), ''Urbanscraper''. Retrieved 12 October 2012.〕 As a third-year student in Barcelona, he set up his first practice and won his first competition.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Blå Blog: Bjarke Ingels )〕 Alongside his architectural practice, Ingels has been active as a Visiting Professor at the Rice University School of Architecture, the Harvard Graduate School of Design,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Judges 2009 – Bjarke Ingels )〕 the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Invitation – Press Release )〕 and mostly recently, the Yale School of Architecture.〔(Karl Schmeck, "Midterm at Yale’s BIG/Durst Studio" ), ''MetropolisMag.com''. 24 March 2012.
