BIG. Yes is More. An Archicomic on Architectural Evolution

Yes is More is the easily accessible but unremittingly radical manifesto of Copenhagen-based architectural practice Bjarke Ingels Group, or BIG. Unlike a typical architectural monograph, Yes is More. An Archicomic on Architectural Evolution this book uses the comic book format to express its groundbreaking agenda for contemporary architecture.

It is also the first comprehensive documentation of BIG’s trailblazing practice—where method, process, instruments, and concepts are constantly questioned and redefined. Or, as the group itself says:

“Historically, architecture has been dominated by two opposing extremes:

an avant-garde full of crazy ideas, originating from philosophy or mysticism; and the well organized corporate consultants that build predictable and boring boxes of a high standard. Architecture seems entrenched: naively utopian or petrifyingly pragmatic.

We believe there is a third way between these diametric opposites: a pragmatic utopian architecture that creates socially, economically, and environmentally perfect places as a practical objective.

At BIG we are devoted to investing in the overlap between radical and reality. In all our actions we try to move the focus from the little details to the BIG picture.”

Bjarke Ingels attracts highly talented coworkers, but also gifted and ambitious clients from all over the world. He then creates intelligent synergies from wild energies and unforeseen dynamics and transforms them into surprising, functional, valuable, and beautiful solutions to the specific and complex challenges in each task.

BIG projects have won awards from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts,

and the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Architecture Biennale, as well as many other international prizes. Yes is More is a play on words that represents the company’s ethos and sums up its irreverent attitude towards excessive formalism, and its determination to involve the population at large in its creations.

As an extension of its methods and results, its debut monograph uses the most approachable and populist means of communication available—the comic.

This inventive experience from the socially, economically, and environmentally savvy Bjarke Ingels Group is a radical architectural manifesto inside a comic book.

The pioneering firm uses the cartoon format to declare its distinct building philosophy in simple yet succinct terms: a quest to find an equilibrium between utopian design and pragmatic everyday needs, to “move the focus from the little details to the BIG picture.”

About the Author

Bjarke Ingels is a “yes man.” He rises to the challenge of just about any demand, be it reasonable or otherwise, with an unqualified “Yes.” This fuels his ambition to absorb all the political interests surrounding a project and to turn them into back bending forms that disarm the opposition.

Review

“As a vehicle for delivering Ingel’s can-do dynamism, it works.” ― Architect Magazine, Washington D.C.
