THE BIG CPH EXPERIMENT presents projects that are all specific urban experiments conducted in Copenhagen since January 2001 by Bjarke Ingels Group.* At different stages of realization, they portray a new breed of urban life forms, both locally specific and generally applicable, introducing residential diversity, programmatic alchemy, urban ascension, modular mania, and political pro-action into the architectural species of the Danish welfare state. The projects in the exhibition are the VM Houses, the Mountain Dwellings, the Scala Tower, Kløverkarréen, the LEGO Towers, the Battery, and Escher Tower.
