BIG proposes to turn the light rail line into a spine of dense urbanity with a series of peaks at the stations. By combing the rail with strategies for energy exchange, waste management, water treatment and electric car stations, the infrastructure could become the base for a new sustainable ring of development around Copenhagen, and an artery of true urbanity pumping life into the heart of the suburbs. At certain points the rail becomes a building itself almost like a Roman aqueduct passing through the suburbs, at other points it forms small pockets of urbanity around the stations.

The Pebble collection is playful and luxurious with each piece interacting with the room in a fluid way. The diverse array of items balance elliptical shapes while staying grounded with the tactile nature of the material. The Pebble series includes a towel rail, toilet roll holder, coat hook, soap dispenser, shower shelf, toilet brush, lever handle, key escutcheon, and thumb turn. The pieces are available in matt black, matt white and our signature finish satin stainless steel.

The project includes the restoration of the Daily Express Building grade II* listed building. The headquarters of the newspaper &#; once the epicenter of the newspaper industry and one of London’s finest Art Deco interiors &#; will for the first time in its history be given a stand-alone status. The project will provide inclusive public access to the original art deco lobby, as well as the exterior roof amenities that include views of the surrounding city.

The studio’s circular shape dismisses the front side-back side logic of a conventional building and produces a non-hierarchical shape that becomes most appropriate in its context of public space. The circular footprint also maximizes its surrounding public space, allowing the recording studio to become more of a sculpture rather than a building. Because the program of the studio has different requirements for clear heights, the roof elevation is strategically varied to form three peaks. These peaks occur at the live room, artists’ private lounge, and academy studios to provide generous space to its users, creating a playful yet elegant roof line reminiscent of the fluidity of sound. The form is then optimized to produce a series of equal horizontal modules that maintain the readability of the undulating roof edge and efficiency of the building structure.

Virgin Hyperloop has gained significant momentum on the regulatory front, having unveiled West Virginia as the location for the Hyperloop Certification Center (HCC), also designed by BIG. The advancements at the HCC and the historic safety demonstration achieved with this test paves the way for the certification of Hyperloop systems around the world – the future of time and space, warped by Pegasus.
