BIG is a Copenhagen, New York, London, Barcelona, Shanghai, Los Angeles, Zurich, and Bhutan-based global architecture firm operating within the fields of architecture, urbanism, interior design, landscape design, product design, and research & development. The office is currently involved in a large number of projects throughout Europe, North America, Asia, the Middle East, and Oceania. BIG’s architecture emerges out of a careful analysis of how contemporary life constantly evolves and changes, not least due to the influence from multicultural exchange, global economic flows, and communication technologies that all together require new ways of architectural and urban organization. We believe that in order to deal with today’s challenges, architecture can profitably move into a field that has been largely unexplored. A pragmatic utopian architecture that steers clear of the petrifying pragmatism of boring boxes and the naïve utopian ideas of digital formalism. Like a form of programmatic alchemy, we create architecture by mixing conventional ingredients such as living, leisure, working, parking, and shopping. By hitting the fertile overlap between pragmatic and utopia, we as architects once again find the freedom to change the surface of our planet to better fit contemporary life forms. BIG is committed to supporting its new parents and their families, and is a proud member of Pledge Parental Leave. While on leave, BIGsters will continue to receive all employee benefits previously provided including health insurance and will remain eligible for salary increases and bonuses, as well as 52 weeks of job security. We offer 18 weeks of total paid leave in addition to accrued vacation to extend the paid leave for primary caregivers, and 4 weeks paid leave for secondary caregivers.

ArchDaily is the global reference for architecture. We empower architects and creative minds shaping the built environment - through insight, knowledge, and tools - to drive the next chapter of architecture together. With 11+ million monthly visits, a global presence and a community that spans students, professionals, and the next generation of world builders, ArchDaily is where the architecture industry comes to learn, discover, and make better decisions. For nearly two decades, we've been a daily working tool for creatives at every stage of their careers - across geographies and disciplines. Led by architects, our work is human-made, grounded in expertise, research, and lived practice. We curate with purpose, not volume. We select, frame, and contextualize architecture so it can be understood, challenged, and used. For our 350+ partners, that means direct access to the most engaged architecture audience in the world - the people specifying materials, selecting products, and shaping the built environment every day. Our vision is simple: a world built with care. And we give the people who build it the best possible tools to do so.
