Ingels Group adds to its leadership team with the announcement of seven
new Partners, 33 new Associates, and one new Director.
With the number of staff more than doubling in the last four years, the
leadership expansion reflects BIG’s 20-year evolution as a global firm
with a local presence, underscored by a holistic approach to design and
development.
With offices now located in Copenhagen, New York City, London, Barcelona, and Shenzhen, BIG’s total staff has grown to over 500 BIGsters. Therefore, the addition of seven new Partners to the existing partnership of 17 is a natural progression. A dedication to Landscape, Product Design, and the Communications operations within BIG is reflected in the naming of three new global Partner roles. The appointment of one new Barcelona-based Partner and two new London-based Partners reflects the tremendous growth of the respective offices, and the growing portfolio of projects to be executed. Similarly, New York’s one Partner appointment reiterates the robust portfolio of construction projects, and the imperative delivery expertise. Founder and Creative Director, Bjarke Ingels, says: “Since our inception Copenhagen two decades ago, to our current condition as a 500+ people firm with offices spanning multiple continents – and work spanning from Earth to The Moon – we have expanded our role and responsibilities beyond the realm of architecture, to include Landscape, Engineering and Product Design. It is only natural that our partnership and leadership now evolves to reflect the ever-increasing complexity and diversity of our current design challenges.” The seven new Partners announced today include: Andy Young, who first joined BIG London in 2016 as a Technical Director, helping shape the fundamental way in which BIG projects are built, with over 25 years of experience in the design and delivery of large-scale projects; Lorenzo Boddi, who first joined BIG Copenhagen as an intern and has been based at BIG London since 2016, continues to give shape to some of BIG’s most visionary projects; João Albuquerque, first joined BIG Copenhagen in 2008, eventually moving to Barcelona in 2019 to support the establishment of a strong foundation for BIG Barcelona; Douglass Alligood, who returns to BIG NYC with an extraordinary 37 years of experience, and will support the increasing portfolio of projects going into Design Development and construction; Lars Larsen, a product design leader and long-time BIG collaborator through his own company, Kilo Design and KiBiSi, who will now lead BIG’s Products design team; Giulia Frittoli, an instrumental leader within BIG Landscape, who will support the growing emphasis on Landscape projects across the BIG Group from her base in BIG CPH; and Daria Pahhota, who first joined BIG Copenhagen as an intern in 2008, became the group’s Chief Communications Officer in 2018, and returns as the leader of BIG’s Global Branding and Communications after two years at the global architecture and engineering firm, SOM. |
