- Synopsis
- Danish-born Bjarke Ingels is regarded as a giant in the field of architecture. He started his firm - the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) - in 2005 in Copenhagen. Fourteen years later, the firm has additional offices in New York City, London, and Barcelona and employs over 500 people. BIG is known for what Ingels calls "hedonistic sustainability," and its designs include a waste-to-energy treatment plant replete with a ski slope, and a multi-storied residential building where residents can bike to their apartments. In 2019, the firm is experiencing growth pains. Demands on Ingels and the firm's infrastructure are intensifying. Ingels and BIG's CEO Sheela Maini S gaard, along with the firm's other partners, know the firm needs to adapt - organizationally and operationally - to be successful in the future. The case study provides background on Ingels, the creation and evolution of BIG, and the challenges the firm and its leadership face.
