Bjarke Ingels recently revealed that his qualifications are not recognised in the US, yet the Danish architect's firm still has projects springing up all over New York. We've rounded up five set to alter the city's neighbourhoods and skyline.
Last week Ingels spoke about his struggle to become registered as an architect in New York, despite graduating from both Barcelona's Escola Tècnica Superior d'Arquitectura and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.
"After months and months, and all kinds of lawyer bills, I get a polite letter saying that they don't acknowledge my education and I can go down the route of professional internships," he told an audience at the New Yorker Festival on Sunday.
However, since setting up a New York office in 2010, Ingels' firm BIG has won numerous jobs in the city and across the US. Luckily some of the firm's other partners are licensed, so these projects can go ahead. See five of BIG's proposed and completed projects in New York City below:

VIA 57 West
Dubbed a "courtscraper" by Ingels during a 2014 interview with Dezeen, the tetrahedral residential tower next to the West Side Highway is shaped to provide views of the Hudson River to as many apartments as possible.
Residents began moving into the 709 rental properties from March 2016, and the building was officially announced as complete in September ? when photographer Iwan Baan captured images of its impact on the skyline.
