Yes is More

17.06.2010 - 30.09.2010

Arc en Reve, Entrepot 7 Rue Ferrere, 33000 Bordeaux, France

As part of arc en reve's long-term ambition, this event aims to call attention to a young European agency that considers architectural projects in an incisive, innovative way that does not exclude a sense of humour. 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. Set up in arc en reves 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. 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. This is BIG's first solo exhibition in France which was inaugurated earlier this year at the Danish Architecture Center.
