Nine of BIG's built architecture projects
This year's Serpentine Gallery Pavilion will be designed by Bjarke Ingels' firm ? a studio known for forward-thinking concepts and exciting ideas, but with only a handful of completed projects. Here's a look back at some of the ones built so far (+ slideshow).

Completed by BIG in 2013, this underground museum loops around an old dry dock to create a cultural facility dedicated to Denmark's maritime history. The central void forms a sunken courtyard, while a series of enclosed bridges cuts through the 60-year-old walls to connect exhibition spaces.
