a great first week





since my arrival on monday, i have been staying with my good friend chris carlsen in a small flat in osterbro (the quieter of copenhagen's neighborhoods). my days have been filled with long hours at the BIG studio and nights out in the city... all this while getting over my jetlag!


working at BIG looks to be a very exciting and promising experience. the office is made up of something like 50 interns and 50 architects and operates much like an academic studio. a single open space filled with some of the more creative minds the world has to offer. the studio in packed with thousands of models, iterations upon iterations- the evidence of a group entirely obsessed with process. i think i will fit in well.


for those who are familiar with BIG's projects, i have been working on the maritime museum in helsingor. my first task was to wire 300 led lights into the ceiling of a massive model to go on display at the site. the model is about 8 feet long, and probably represents thousands of hours of work. the project has been in the office for several years and this model was started in february of 2010 (with many versions prior). my team will be in charge of finishing it by september 15th. this means that i will probably have 12 hour days and weekends in the office to look forward to!
