A pragmatic utopian architecture that steers clear of the petrifying pragmatism of boring boxes and the naïve utopian ideas of digital formalism. We believe that in order to deal with today’s challenges, architecture can profitably move into a field that has been largely unexplored.

The office is currently involved in a large number of projects throughout Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. The River Ring will be the first of many invitations for New Yorkers to dip their toes in the water.īIG is a Copenhagen, New York, London and Barcelona based group of architects, designers, urbanists, landscape professionals, interior and product designers, researchers and inventors. “The radical transformation of Copenhagen’s port into a swimmable extension of the public space that we helped pioneer two decades ago, now seems to be knocking at the door in Williamsburg and the entire East River.

The milestone wraps up a breakneck land use review whereby the teams steered the project through the community board, borough president, City Planning Commission and City Council in just four months, which is “about as fast as it has ever been done.”
