Without a doubt this is a gathering of objects from around the world: that is the whole idea. But tell me what isn't? Has there ever been anything done without inspiration and references to something existing already? Many of the architects that criticize BIG base their works on an aesthetical legacy of dogmas and academic brainwash, building ego-driven architecture completely disconnected from the people that are supposed to enjoy it. I do not intend to defend BIG, but to offend the existing architectural establishment, that have not yet understood that their profession is to serve people not their own ego.

Done by AG5 in Copenhagen. A real social and design project. The renovation of the tram sheds adjacent into a sports and cultural centre is much better. Done by AG5 in Copenhagen.

This is about creating and activating a space where people with different migration backgrounds come together. A social thing, you know. And I think they succeeded in this idea.

They only release those (probably) very carefully considered graphic diagrams, which tells us nothing about the design process.
