If Hadid was the closest thing architecture previously had to a mainstream star, Ingels has gone supernova. * Esquire *

If Hadid was the closest thing architecture previously had to a mainstream star, Ingels has gone supernova. * Esquire * This is a treasure trove of a book - a super-monograph which not only records the works and projects of a major global practice, but provides insights into the contexts and ideas which have informed their work and our existence. * Paul Finch. Founder of the World Architecture Festival * A Rosetta Stone of sorts on the cover shows a graphic evolution of the word 'formgiving' an English verbal combination calqued on the Danish term for design. The transition from archaic glyphs to the galactic typography of rocket augurs the incommensurate time horizon that this ambitious book by Bjarke Ingels's ubiquitous firm purports to tackle. * Arquitectura Viva * A parking garage doubles up as a cultural hub, a museum is also a bridge, an incinerator is an urban park, etc. etc. Formgiving brings together over 100 of these synthesisations, raising, defining and answering a few big questions along the way and continuing a hunger for publishing as way of building an image. * Wallpaper* * Formgiving is the third instalment of the innovative office of BIG architects, part manifesto, part exhibition catalogue, part monograph, this interesting title takes us to the world of Bjarke Ingels and his colleagues, the architectural firm which has established itself as the optimist innovators in the architectural profession. * Edgar Gonzalez Moreno *

Author Information

La arquitectura de Bjarke Ingels es grande, audaz y barroca, y combina utilidad con una visión y una producción innovadoras. En sus propias palabras: ?Una arquitectura utópica y pragmática?. El chico de oro de la arquitectura danesa fundó su propio estudio, BIG, o Bjarke Ingels Group, en 2005, y es conocido por sus proyectos de desarrollo de vivienda urbana. Con sede en Copenhague, muchos de sus nuevos edificios se han construido allí: la 8 House, un complejo residencial en forma de 8 que consta de tres tipos diferentes de viviendas y que puede recorrerse en bicicleta.
