Yes is More is the easily accessible but unremittingly radical manifesto of Copenhagen-based architectural practice Bjarke Ingels Group, or BIG.Unlike a typical architectural monograph, this book uses the comic book format to express its groundbreaking agenda for contemporary architecture. It is also the first comprehensive documentation of BIG’s trailblazing practice―where method, process, instruments, and concepts are constantly questioned and redefined. Or, as the group itself says:
“Historically, architecture has been dominated by two opposing extremes: an avant-garde full of crazy ideas, originating from philosophy or mysticism; and the well organized corporate consultants that build predictable and boring boxes of high standard. Architecture seems entrenched: naively utopian or petrifyingly pragmatic. We believe there is a third way between these diametric opposites: a pragmatic utopian architecture that creates socially, economically, and environmentally perfect places as a practical objective. At BIG we are devoted to investing in the overlap between radical and reality. In all our actions we try to move the focus from the little details to the BIG picture.”
Bjarke Ingels attracts highly talented coworkers, but also gifted and ambitious clients from all over the world. He then creates intelligent synergies from wild energies and unforeseen dynamics, and transforms them into surprising, functional, valuable, and beautiful solutions to the specific and complex challenges in each task.
BIG projects have won awards from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, and the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Architecture Biennale, as well as many other international prizes. Yes is More is a play on words that represents the company’s ethos and sums up its irreverent attitude towards excessive formalism, and its determination to involve the population at large in its creations. As an extension of its methods and results, its debut monograph uses the most approachable and populist means of communication available―the comic.

Bjarke Ingels is a “yes man.” He rises to the challenge of just about any demand, be it reasonable or otherwise, with an unqualified “Yes.” This fuels his ambition to absorb all the political interests surrounding a project and to turn them into backbending forms that disarm the opposition.

Paperback. Condizione: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut Sg - Ungelesenes Mängelexemplar, gestempelt, mit leichten Lagerspuren - Yes is More ist das leicht verständliche, radikale Manifest des Kopenhagener Architekturbüros Bjarke Ingels Group oder kurz BIG. Im Gegensatz zu einem typischen Architekturbuch kommt es als Comic daher, um seine eigenwillige Agenda zeitgenössischer Architektur zu vermitteln. Zugleich verkörpert es die erste umfassende Dokumentation der bahnbrechenden Praxis von BIG, Methoden, Prozesse, Instrumente und Konzepte immer wieder in Frage zu stellen und neu zu definieren, oder mit den Worten der Gruppe:'Die Architektur wird seit jeher durch zwei gegensätzliche Extreme beherrscht: eine Avantgarde voller verrückter Ideen aus Philosophie oder Mystik und durch straff organisierte Beraterfirmen, die vorhersagbare, langweilige Schachteln von hohem Standard errichten. Die Architektur befindet sich anscheinend in einer Zwickmühle: entweder naiv utopisch oder lähmend pragmatisch. Wir glauben jedoch, dass es zwischen diesen diametralen Gegensätzen einen dritten Weg gibt: eine pragmatische utopische Architektur, die das konkrete Ziel verfolgt, sozial, ökonomisch und umweltmäßig perfekte Orte zu schaffen. BIG bemüht sich um die Schnittmenge zwischen Radikalem und Realem. In all unserem Tun versuchen wir unseren Blick von den kleinen Details auf das große Ganze - das BIG picture - zu lenken.' Bjarke Ingels gewinnt immer wieder hoch talentierte Mitarbeiter und anspruchsvolle Kunden aus aller Welt. Aus unbändiger Energie und unerwarteter Dynamik entstehen intelligente Synergien, die in überraschende, funktionale, werthaltige und schöne Lösungen für die speziellen und komplexen Herausforderungen verwandelt werden. BIG-Projekte wurden vielfach international ausgezeichnet, etwa durch die Royal Academy of Fine Arts und mit dem Sonderpreis der Jury der Architektur-Biennale Venedig. Das Wortspiel Yes is More steht für die Unternehmensphilosophie und fasst die respektlose Haltung gegenüber exzessivem Formalismus zusammen, aber auch die Entschlossenheit, die breite Masse einzubeziehen. Diese Monographie präsentiert die Methoden und Resultate durch das ansprechendste und populärste aller Kommunikationsmittel: den Comic. Codice articolo INF1000759623
