Formgiving: Giving Form to the Future

Formgiving, the Danish word for design, means to give form to that which has not yet been given form: create a world to the world we would like to find ourselves. This concept is now more important than ever, as humans are the greatest force shaping the planet today. Formgiving takes you on a journey across scales from the smallest to the largest projects to sense how the world around us has been shaped, from the past to the present, and beyond. Kai-Uwe Bergmann, an architect at the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), presents a close look at some of the company’s projects which have been built in over 40 different countries.
