The BIG team is looking for great designers, so the most important thing is having a good portfolio. Having various software skills can be an advantage, grasshopper, revit, unreal etc. But they are looking for talented people that have a combination of design skills, technical/software skills and importantly a great person to work with and have in the team.
I worked at BIG for over 5 years, by far the most amazing work environments I've been part of! People do work hard and sometimes long hours but when you're trying to create innovative ideas sometimes that is what it takes. Architecture practices around the world need to rethink parts of our profession, particularly pay and overtime. In my opinion, one way we can do this is to adopt more innovative technologies so we spend less time on laborious tasks and more time on critical thinking. This is why we want to spread information about technology and entrepreneurship in our industry…….if you think you can do it better stop wasting time commenting on youtube and go out there and start your own practice and make a change.
BIG is kind a architecture fabric, i was recently in Aarhus seeing some of the BIG projects there, is just show off architecture, building could have been build there or in Dubai, would be the same. No connection to the place, to the city, to the people, nothing, just a giant sculpture there.
I find these comments so thoughtless, the first comment looks like a factory….its set within a industrial redevelopment area so there are gestures towards the industrial nature of the context which the building is set in, not to mention its on a peninsula with the weather coming in directly from the sea, hence the use of resilient materials. And the second comment, the Aarhus project where the masterplan is designed around maximizing views in the local context, the summer houses designed around the local vernacular, built in local materials for the local community to use and activate the local area, not to mention the harbor bath again build for the local community......yet you see this as having no connection to place and people?
@@architech.network my comment was about BIG architecture in general, and yes, the building in Arhus has no connection at all with the surroundings. I was there a couple weeks a go in a office trip (i work as an architect) and the place was empty, no people, no life. The bath/swimmingpool area and the small buildings around were the only nice part to walk around, the clock tower and the gigantic curved building (apartments building) where like OVNIS that landed there. Same for the huge tower in the back (projecto of another architecture office). Again, those building being there or in Dubai, would have been the same.
So many amazing things from BIG
The music is on another level
How I love design in any of its manifestations, architecture or fashion.

Home base
I bet AI will help in the creative processes in the future.
Its being used right now!
☕️❤️👏😊danke
This is an office filled with 80% unpaid interns working to keep the office afloat, at the cost of other studios everywhere. Unsustainable, unethical
No one at big is unpaid, do some homework before posting comments like this..
@@architech.networkthanks for contributing to avoid exposing how toxic the work environment in some architecture studios is. You’re a disgrace

@@architech.networkwell said! It’s always about finding the right balance
landscape section , 🤣
The repetitive, tinny background music makes this video unwatchable. If it is noticable, it isn't background
WE GET IT !!!!!!!!!!WE HAVE REMOVED THE BACKGROUND MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! READ THE OTHER COMMENTS BEFORE JUST REPEATING THE SAME THING!!!!!!
If you dont like it, simply dont watch it and unsubscribe
Depressive vibes…looks like a factory ((
