A building i like...

As a second year Architect student... I think I don't have so much knowledge about many great buildings... but I like one architecture office named BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group) , is a Copenhagen and New York based group of architects, designers, builders and thinkers operating within the fields of architecture, urbanism, research and development... and today I'm going to choose one project call the 8HOUSE ...which I think it´s a great project....




This is a collective housing... located in Copenhagen, Denmark...Very different to the traditional housing buildings... the 8 House integrates all the urban life elements in just one building... using different layers that coexist ... practically creating a neighborhood   where the suburban life is similar to the life on cities... were the housing buildings and the offices coexist...



This housing has an incredible solutions to a lot of regular problems(  the reason I choose it )that we have today to designed  architecture projects... you have a guaranteed sunlight and a great view for every unit(housing, office or commercial spaces)to the beautiful Copenhagen lake... One important factor is the huge scale... cause it bring a great protagonist in front of the rest of the building context... but at the same time includes the same language of the units or apartments that has the other buildings...


The great thing of this huge an amassing project is that captivates the attention of every person...and it has a lot vantages like jobs... and houses...and a great environment  to develop life... so it has a great acceptation by community... Here is a video of how they develop the project....

  1. The "8 House" reminds me of the "Waldspirale", in Darmstadt, Germany. These two buildings have very similar concepts, but I prefer the "Waldspirale" because it looks cosier (haha).
    Here is a picture of the "Waldspirale":
