On the Boards: BIG Designs Another Skiable Roof

December 13, 2011
No Comments
Perhaps we can blame the firm's roots in Denmark’s mostly flat topography, but no matter the cause, Bjarke Ingels Group seems to have a mountain fetish—witness its Mountain Dwellings, or the urban hiking trails wrapping the firm's 8 House, or its brilliant scheme for a combination waste disposal facility, power plant, and ski slope. Taking the preoccupation one step further, Bjarke and company have just released plans for a project on an actual mountain, and it combines conceits from a few of their previous designs.The firm’s plan for a ski area in Lapland in far northern Finland includes a hotel with a roof that slopes, 8-House style, down to, well, the slopes. Guests can ski—or snowboard—directly from their rooms to surrounding trails via the tapered roofs. The project also includes a cluster of new and existing resort buildings oriented around a central square. Read details from the firm after the jump.

VIDEO: Bjarke Ingels Speaks at Our 2011 Innovation Conference

November 3, 2011
No Comments
This morning, Danish rockstar architect Bjarke Ingels delivered the keynote presentation at Architectural Record's Innovation Conference. He explained his idea of "hedonistic sustainability," which holds that design does not need to make a "Protestant" sacrifice in order to be ecologically or socially attuned. After the jump, watch video of the first half of his presentation—which includes a giant silver baloon, the "periscope of democracy," and the theme music from "Knight Rider."
