- We had the opportunity to visit Bjarke Ingels architecture Studio in New York City and it was so much fun! In this video you can check out the experience, listen to the chat we had with Daniel Sundlin and also learn some inside secrets.
Thanks to Oliver Thomas for making this happen! Also thanks to Kai and Daniel for hosting us and being so open and kind with everything.

You guys (by guys, I mean you and Oliver) have improved your visuals and presentation skills so much, it's impressive. Anyone who does graphics in design knows that it takes a long time to get these skills and even longer to understand how to implement them. I admire your chemistry as a team, working together rather than acting as competitors against each other. Both of you are doing great work in growing the architecture knowledge landscape and I want to thank you.
Hey, thanks for the compliment. It really means a lot I we we have been working on these kind of videos for a long time. We have been wanting to make these videos for a long time as well and publishing these videos, and knowing that you guys like them so much it really means a lot and it makes it all worth it. Oliver and I have been friends for for some years and I think we will be friends for many many more years to come. We have great chemistry like in person as well we have similar taste we you know we like to laugh and just go out and talk about things that are not always architecture, but just random things and we had a lot of fun. If you guys could just see you know all the behind the scenes behind all these videos it would be really cool, but again, thanks for the comment. It really really means a lot, and it just inspires us to make more videos that are like transversal to both of our channels.
I was lucky enough to get a tour of the Copenhagen office after meeting one of the project managers of the Prague Philharmonic Hall. Super nice guy who went out of his way to show up around late at night. Lots of friendly, passionate people it was definitely a highlight of our trip and he’s even helped some of my friends by connecting them to people to interview for class work. Huge shoutout to Jan!
What an incredible video man! So engaging and full of interesting insights! You’re a master at this!
I’m so thrilled we got to experience this together, document the whole thing and make videos about it.
I feel we should start planning the next adventure, what do you say? 🙌
Let’s do it! Something European would be nice. Or should we start with our own South America?
Find a practice in Africaaa
Upstairs X ShowitBetter , it was the best combos when we learn architecture 🔥🔥
Love the way both of you guys collaborate and present the video in your own unique styles!
Glad you enjoyed it!
what I love most about BIG is their design process. thanks to you guys who really made this video and make us see through
thanks for your comment!
This is such an amazing visit and documentation, very interesting to watch.
Thank you for this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like this idea of hand on modles instead on computer design renderings, thanks to all ❤
Glad you like it!
Great video! Thanks for sharing the experience Steven 👌
my pleasure! Oliver and I were so excited just walking through the office, that we wanted to transmit that same emotion throughout our videos. Hope we can do more like these!
Great work! I loved learning this much about how BIG works. Keep going 🎉
Thanks! It was pretty eye opening. Also since it was such a long conversation, there are so many other golden nuggets of information I had to leave out. But there are some cool things going on in the office
I love the storytelling and visuals in this video, great work!!!
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it, this comment makes my day :)
Video is beautifully crafted. Thank you guys❤
The content of the video is very exciting
Thank you very much!
What a video! Very interesting, I've learnt a lot about an architect I admire! Bjarke Ingels is a real source of inspiration, and thanks to this video we got to see what goes on behind the scenes.
thanks! It's really inspiring to be in the space where many of the projects you see in pictures are just being ideated. Also the culture just feels so cool
Absolutely amazing video! Love how you've taken the editing and pace of your videos to the next level.
Thanks a ton! And I'm glad you noticed. It's something that I have been working on and hope to improve, it's a constant process. Thanks :)
Feel the same
Loved it
Your editing is so engaging, thanks for the video man
glad you liked it! there was a bit of extra effort in comparison to other videos
Thank you dear for reviewing one of my favorite practicing studio. Cheers.
It's my pleasure
Great one!
Yess, more office tours, please! Maybe after the big ones, some small ones? To see how an everyday architect (office) works, can work.
All the best for you guys!
Great idea!!
Wow!! Really good video! Thank you I always wondered how their office would look like and how they think 🤩
Honestly the office is incredible and everyone is super nice! What surprised me the most was the amount of maquettes everywhere!
Great video ! as always very interesting 👌
Thanks! I really enjoyed working on it, it was a new topic I hadn't explored for sure
chefs kiss office
the best!
This is such good content. ! Thankyou so much for sharingg
You're welcome Paul! Visiting the office was a really cool experience and we definitely had to ask if we could record and show this to everyone!
Here, just Upstairs 7:19
We appreciate the pun.
On a lighter note. Great video!
Here's to more.
Great video, would love to see more architecture offices big and small
Coming soon!
Really great video. Have learned a lot, and I whish you made a detailed tour of their office. Really wanna see what's there.
Thanks! We had a lot of footage and some of it is in Oliver’s video! So you can check more over there. Also, there are a lot of confidential projects we couldn’t record 🙂 thanks!
🤩 que rico ver tu progreso y como estas tocando unas esferas muy bacanas compartiendo conocimiento. Un fraternal saludo 💫
muchas gracias hermano! un abrazo
BIG UP FROM TUNISIA ♥ Amazing work and content like always !
Thanks Riabi! Cheers from Colombia 🇨🇴
@@ShowItBetter You're welcome !
Hope to see my proftolio in some of your videos one day !
these guys are next level...damn
they are!
Great video!
thanks Frederico!
very interesting ! thank you
Thanks for watching! We had so much fun
Amazing bro!!
thanks xavier! it was a tough video to make but I loved the results!
Awesome video
thanks Mike!
The signal flow of decisions can translate into other design fields as well. As an industrial designer I see objects change dramatically by the time it reaches marketing.
It’s a good technique to always taking mind like let’s do minimum 100 design versions of anything that will work we’re working on before we actually decide on which one is going to be the last one.
@@ShowItBetter I agree, and a better way to price your services if you are "independent". Hard to charge clients hourly when I am in the flow of making 100 variations.
i like your comment
interesting video, like to see more office tours, the way of presentation was amazing
thanks John! we would like to do this more often definetly. Visiting offices is eye opening, one thing is seeing the popular faces all over the internet, and another thing is seeing everyone work on the projects, so cool!
The content of the video is very exciting
Yes more office videos please🙏
hopefully more coming up!
Que video tan Chevere, ❤ siempre imagine Que el proceso de BIG era por equipos especificos, seria muy lindo poder ver un video de OMA 😊
Gracias Andrea y Andres! Si, yo también pensé que era bastante segmentado. Pero al parecer es muy diferente. Sería muy muy chevere ir a OMA
good video
good effect bro
Nice info, SIB & LUs
Cool video. I thought they were closing the NYC office - assuming they will centralise all operations when their new HQ in Copenhagen is finalised.
I had no idea that was a thing! When we walked through the space it seemed like they had a lot going on and a lot of projects running to close the office. The biggest project being the dryline in Manhattan. But hey, who knows!
Wow always wondered how their studios were inside, such a cool video!! 👌🏼👌🏼
I’ll be in ny by the end of summer, do you know if they organize workshops or have days where they show the offices for outside students??
I know they organize days in coordination with different universities that want to visit. I'm not really sure if they receive individual students. Nonetheless you should get in touch via their website, maybe they do!
Great video from you and Oliver, out of interest do you do all of the video editing yourself, what software do you use? Love all the infographic animations that you put in. Keep up the great work
thanks! and yeah all of the video editing is done by me :) I mostly use premiere pro, after effects and photoshop
@@ShowItBetter bravo mate, have a really class style
Great video! However, it's not so black and white - BIG's office army of generalists vs everyone else of specialists. Most offices fall somewhere in the gray area. For example, in regards to see projects all the way through, about 90% of the work that architects do is iterative in any office - speculative projects, feasibility studies, competitions, alternative options, etc. This work never becomes realised, but it is essential in the design process. Perhaps, smaller, less design driven offices or design/built collaborations work in slightly different ways, but as for traditional offices, most offices also fall in between highly specific roles and the more generalist architect approach. Also, in the highly specific role or internal team-based offices, specific teams typically do work on projects all the way through from concept to construction (depending on the setup). Furthermore, outside of various architecture sectors (commercial, residential, hospitality, transport, aviation, cultural, etc), there are still specialist specific teams that every large office has internally or contracts an external company. Think Design Technology, BIM, IT, Computational Design, Sustainability, and/or Visualisation.
Thanks for the comment Dimitar! Glad to see your point of view. And certainly, it's not black and white at all. It's also not to say this is the BIG way and the other workflows are for traditional offices. What I think is interesting was seeing how a BIG partner saw the process from his POV, tried to break it down, and perceived himself and the office as different for this process in itself. Also the way he narrated it and told it to us, was so engaging, that it makes you think it really is the BIG way! haha. Probably if we went to other similar scale offices, the process would be more or less the same, I guess it's the storytelling part that makes it all special
On the other hand, we did visit other offices in NY during our trip, and to our surprise they were very different! Although the scale of the office and projects were similar, the office was completely different and the vibe as well. It was a more traditional segmented design process. And the thousands of iterations were not out for everyone to see, like if that was something reserved for the designer. Instead at BIG, the thousands of models and iterations are shown in a trophyesque kinda way. Like, "we go through all of this" to do such great projects. I guess it's good storytelling even within the office space and design process.
@@ShowItBetter Well said! BIG is for sure a leader in the storytelling aspect in the profession.
I was the electrical engineer for the space if you have any questions.
SMMA office tour in Cambridge Ma
that would be awesome!
Hello . I'm an architecture graduate and I want to work with you. Can you please let me know if there are any openings for someone with drafting, photo editing and model making skills? I'm a pretty decent writer as well. I love analyzing buildings and interiors! I'd love to work with your team! Hope this message reaches you!
Please try to do MVRDV next
Would love to!

Sheesh.. nc edit
thanks Alvian!
1 liner architect 🥱
Yes Is More or nah?
yes is yes
Software used for design iteration?
They use a lot of Rhino in this process!
This is a great video but the audio sounds like its been run through the Adobe AI enhancer in the worst way possible.
sorry! the original audio was messed up and believe it or not, worse than this haha
big lost me at telosa
Do you want a fourth-year architecture student to work with you for free?
*this is our gimmick
100 design iterations is absurd. Most of those will contain redundancies and some will contain good interchangeable areas. Ultimately that’s inefficient and honestly makes it seem like there’s no talking and that it’s all competitive. It’s Non-collaborative Collaboration.
I am 100% sure they will be using rhino for their work.
Rhino and Revit!
@@ShowItBetter how we can use both at the same time. They are two different direction of working. Maybe rhino inside revit but that maynot that suitable.
bjarke incels group more like
iterative not itirative
ups
I was not to thrilled by their designs. Mediocre. Alot of hype than quality.
What do you mean that their quality is low, could you point out by using a project that they did
Frauds
Interesting, why do you think so? I
This architecture is stupid. Its made for the egos of the architects, not for the users.
interesting, would you care to elaborate? why do you think so?
Hello ！Hope you’re doing well. Great video🎉
How can we contact you please ?
thanks! via insta is good :)
@@ShowItBetter ok thanks. ‘ll try to do ASAP
