Plot (architectural company)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PLOT is a defunct Danish architectural company. It was led by young architects Bjarke Ingels and Julien de Smedt, both formerly of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA). PLOT was founded in Copenhagen in January 2001. The company was responsible for some of the most daring projects and propositions in Danish architecture during the first few years of the century. Their work was original and playful and often in stark contrast to mainstream Danish architecture of the time, with its more subdued and conservative modernist style. PLOT's work and success does however seem to have played a role in inspiring a new and more experimentative trend in Danish Architecture in general.
As of January 2006, Ingels and de Smedt have closed down PLOT and started their own companies, BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group) and JDS Architects, respectively.
