Contrary to the often stiff and rigid profession, he does not take himself too seriously.
Which is one of Ingels’s charms: Though serious, intellectual, and among the leading practitioners in the field today, he is also humorous, enjoys a pun, and is not necessarily one for subtleties (the domain name of his firm is, after all, big.dk). The caption reads “Planet in my palm.” It’s a coy statement, given the colossal success of the Danish-born architect’s firm, Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), but it’s funny, too.

Thus the reader is invited into BIG’s processes, methods and results using the most approachable and populist means of communication available – the cartoon.” – Kent Martinussen, CEO, Danish Architecture Centre. YES IS MORE is a communication created in this very spirit – combing elite and popular elements – allowing the sublime to shine through in the commonplace. In the book, BIG shows how they conceptualize the polymorphous demands, complex rules and highly specialized knowledge of society, creating tangible solutions through artistic processes solutions which time and again attract the interest of the population at large as well as the respect of global aficionados. “YES IS MORE is a popular and easily accessible manifesto for architecture as one of the most relevant aggregates of the 21st century in which we may epitomize and answer many of the global agenda-setting questions. Unlike a classic architectural monograph, this book is more of a manifesto of popular culture, in which BIG’s methods, means, processes and approach to the concept of architecture are revealed as being as unconventional, unexpected and result-producing as the world in which it exists, continually reaffirming its mission with a resounding YES. YES IS MORE is the first monograph of its kind devoted exclusively to the trailblazing practice of BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group, a Copenhagen based group of architects, designers and thinkers operating within the fields of architecture, urbanism, research and development.

As a manifesto project accompanied by a book, Yes is More is an invitation to update our vision of architecture and the city in a return to modernity and its utopias. Set up in arc en rêve’s main gallery, the exhibition takes the form of a huge, 130-metre-long comic strip occupying the entire 450 square metres of the space and complete with 30 models – one of them an astonishing LEGO construction – and 19 animated films. With projects such as the Copenhagen Harbour Baths (2003), the Orestad residences (2008) built on a gigantic sloping slab resembling an urban mountain, and a bike track spiralling through the Danish pavilion at Expo Shanghai (2010), BIG’s completed projects offer profound architectural experiences at a far remove from minimalism, political correctness and digital formalism.
