Yes is more is the title of an exhibition & a book presenting B.I.G. in solo format for the first time in Denmark at the Danish architecture centre. Unlike a classic architectural monograph this book is more of a popular cultural manifesto which is also literally the first actual documentation of B.I.G.'s trailblazing practice. As the book demonstrates this is a practice where method processes instruments & the approach to the concept of architecture is precisely as wild unfettered & result-producing as the world it is part of & greets with an unqualified Yes. Bjarke Ingels attracts highly talented co-workers but also gifted & ambitious clients from all over the world. He does so because his own talent is above all to swiftly create intelligent synergies out of indomitable movements" wild energies & unforeseen dynamics & transform them into hitherto unseen surprising functional valuable & beautiful solutions to the specific & complex challenges in each task. The results of B.I.G.'s practice has already won awards from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Architecture Biennale the prize for " The World's Best Housing Project" " Best Building in the Nordic Countries" as well as many other international kudos. The project & the title Yes is more is a double-edged wordplay on the dogma in modern architecture that "less is more". Less is only more as far as

Dimensions go
- the ability to encompass as many

Dimensions as possible (more) with as few expenses as possible (less). As a design parameter for an aesthetic retro minimalism this only amounts to idiosyncratic architectural idiocy."
