Architectural reviewSummary: In a recent Time magazine interview, Rem Koolhaas described his sometime employee and not-quite protégé Bjarke Ingels as ‘the first major architect who has disconnected the profession completely from angst’. The founding principal of New York- and Copenhagen-based Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), Ingels first blipped onto the global design radar with his previous firm, PLOT, whose Maritime Youth House won the AR Emerging Architecture Awards in 2004; since then, the designer – almost universally called by his first name – has indeed demonstrated a proclivity towards an architecture of almost unbounded optimism. But on consideration, the imputation of angstlessness is a little off the mark. Ingels’ practice is possessed of an identifiable anxiety.
