The dossier of the latest issue of AV Proyectos is dedicated to BIG, the
studio established in Copenhagen in 2005 by Bjarke Ingels, the only
architect on Time’s list of ‘The 100 Most Influential People’ in 2016.
The issue includes BIG’s most recent proposals organized in accordance
with the relationship between climate and architecture: from the warmest
to the coolest context, just as they appear in the studio’s recent
publication 'BIG, Hot to Cold: An Odyssey of Architectural Adaptation'.
The issue also covers the utopian proposals of the ‘Paper Architects’
Alexander Brodsky and Ilya Utkin, whose oneiric drawings suggest a
critical analysis of the austere and rigid character of official Soviet
architecture.
