BIG: Hot to Cold

Exhibited at DAM in Frankfurt am Main, “Hot to Cold” takes the visitor on a journey round the globe, exploring the elements, that finally shape our cities and buildings.

Under harsh demands of climatic extremes architecture serves primarily shading from the heat or sheltering from the cold. The milder or more temperate environments often leave more room for other factors, such as culture, program, politics and legislation to shape the buildings.

The exhibition takes the visitor on a journey from the hottest to the coldest parts of our planet and explores how the designs by in Copenhagen, New York City and London based Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) are shaped by their cultural and climatic contexts.

Numerous architectural models and prototypes will be on display. All projects are captured by architectural photographer Iwan Baan’s images. The exhibition also features films that describe life as it occurs within and around BIG’s buildings.
