The Gammel Hellerup School just north of Copenhagen is a well-preserved piece of architecture and a good example of building on a human scale. BIG was asked to design two new buildings, a new multi-purpose hall and a new arts building for the growing school. The challenge was to develop a masterplan and architectural design for new buildings that met the school’s changing needs while still respecting the traditional architecture.

The plaza will consist of two overlapping spaces. One space is conceived like a contemporary interpretation of the Souk, the vast shaded public space where people gather during the day. Tall slender columns mushroom at the top forming a continuous canopy of interconnected disks. Like light filtering through the leaves of the trees, daylight will seep through the gaps through the canopy above. Each disc is tilted towards the center, rising towards the perimeter – the result is a shaded square – opening up to receive visitors from all directions.

In , BIG participated in an open design competition for a new Water Culture House in Odense, Denmark&#;s third largest city. The traditional method of designing swimming pools often starts with the creation of a container box from which a hole is excavated to form the water basin. For the creation of a ‘aqua center&#; it seemed more appropriate to look holistically at the pool program.

Today&#;s human civilization has become more and more urban and the growth of urbanization has had dire consequences on the body and soul of cities. The dimensions of settlements are becoming more complex day by day and the indigenous problems of cities are becoming more apparent. Therefore, urban society, especially in modern and modern forms, is constantly and extensively exposed to various types of hazards.

Until the middle of the eighteenth century, no special attention was paid to urban furniture; The urban living environment was limited and provided a limited range of social connections. From onwards, new perspectives, ideas and theories on how to use urban spaces created a great change in urban furniture. After the decline of the feudal system in Iran, new economic factors and conditions centered on industry and with the establishment of factories, banks, railways and communication routes, telegraph lines, office buildings, ministries, hotels, cinemas, schools Barracks changed and eventually affected cities and urban facilities.
