BIG in the running to design American football stadium
The next big US project for Bjarke Ingels' firm could be an American football stadium for the Washington Redskins.
News reports surfaced this week that Danish firm BIGÂ could be teaming up with the Redskins to design a new stadium in the Washington DC metro area.
BIG has never designed a sports arena, although the firm is in the running to redesign Barcelona's Camp Nou Stadium.
For the Redskins project, sources say the studio would likely be paired with a firm experienced in designing facilities for the National Football League.

The Redskins have considered relocating from their current home in Maryland to DC or Virginia, according to reports, but the team have not yet revealed details. Plans for the new stadium are expected to be announced later this month. BIG has unveiled a series of US projects since opening its New York office six years ago.  Current projects include the Two World Trade Center skyscraper in Manhattan and the new Google headquarters in Mountain View, California, which it is designing with Thomas Heatherwick.
