BIGness: Bjarke Ingels:

A presentation created for my Theories of Architecture course regarding Rem Koolhaas' Theory of Bigness and the overlap that it causes between Architecture and Urban Design.  The focus of the in-depth presentation is primarily on the Bjarke Ingels Group and the large scale projects they have proposed around the world that involve Koolhaas' 5 points of Bigness in one respect or another.  Being one of Rem's many mentees, Bjarke Ingels was strongly influenced by the thoughts, designs, and concepts of Koolhaas and then began to progress his own career in the best way he saw fit.  While there are numerous underlying similarities between there two, there are most certainly a few varying characteristics (see p. 28).  Although this is true, a significant commonality lies in the culmination of architecture, urban design, and sense of new spatiality in all of their work; something that I believe to be the future of design (see Theories of Architecture Term Paper).
