Bjarke Ingels Group, often referred to as BIG, is an international architectural firm founded in 2005 by Bjarke Ingels in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 2010 it opened a branch office in New York City. Today, the architecture firm employs around 200 architects working on projects in more than 18 countries. ==History== Bjarke Ingels established BIG in late 2005 after he and his former partner, Julien De Smedt, decided to discontinue their common practice PLOT, which had gained considerable success since its establishment in 2001. His new firm continues to draw extensive national and international attention and won several international awards for its first completed commission, the Mountain, a residential project in Copenhagen which had been commenced by PLOT. Over the next couple of years, BIG won a number of international competitions and received several large commissions around the world. These include a waste-to-energy plant which doubles as a ski-slope in Copenhagen, Denmark, the West 57th Street mixed-use tower in New York for Durst Fetner Residential, the National Art Gallery of Greenland in Nuuk, headquarters for the Shenzhen Energy Company in Shenzhen, China and Kimball Art Center in Utah, USA. As of 1 December 2009, in response to the rapid growth of the company, the partnership was expanded with seven new partners: Thomas Christoffersen, Jakob Lange, Finn Nørkjaer, Andreas Klok Pedersen, David Zahle, CEO Sheela Maini Søgaard, and Kai-Uwe Bergmann who heads the company's Business Development efforts. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Young Danes Think Big )〕 In 2010, BIG opened a branch office in New York City, where they have been commissioned to design the W57 Street courtscraper by Durst Fetner Residential.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NYC design with a twist )〕 In 2015, BIG added four new partners to the existing partnership between the offices in Copenhagen and New York: Beat Schenk and Daniel Sundlin in New York and Brian Yang and Jacob Sand in Copenhagen.
