BIG architects designs some pretty badass buildings, but I personally think their coolest buildings are the ones that involve skiing.

These guys are not the average artsy architects: all the buildings generally features serve a purpose. Check out these presentations from their website:
(also, read the captions, they are very interesting)

I meant to infer that among artsy architects, they are less artsy, not that all architects are artsy.

Ya, the mall is a bit complex, but its pretty sick

Im an architecture student and Bjarke Ingels is a huge inspiration to me. K+ to the OP. This guy and his team truly think outside the box and create amazing places to live, work and play. If anyone is interested in design, they should totally explore his website, its fucking cool.

Lots of gay designers and architects.



Whatever. I've always enjoyed BIG and JDS' renderings of shit. This ski jump rendering by BIG always makes me moist.
