How do you create something that even street kids would find cool?
By converting a run down factory into a base camp, the immigrant youth are given an alternative place to go off of the streets. Sjakket serves as a community centre to mainly immigrant youth, and as such it serves a significant role in the area, because it keeps the troublemakers off the street and activates and educates them. Sjakket is situated in one of the outer lying neighborhoods of Copenhagen, in an industrialized neighborhood which is mainly populated by lower income households and immigrant families. It is densely populated with older building blocks, but also embossed by the fact that it is surrounded by more industrialized businesses.
The exterior gables and structural walls were subject to strict rules of preservation. The generous barrel vaulted spaces of the former factory are given new functions – one filled, the other emptied. A half pipe sun deck is wedged between the two vaults. This raised terrace is in many ways a secret oasis for the kids. Accessed from the raised terrace is the ‘Ghetto Noise’ sound studio which bridges over the two vaults, like one of so many containers which

In addition to being clearly recognizable, his architectures are or aim at being “schematic”. Ingels often describes them relying on simple diagrams, made of a sequence of few moves: rotations, torsions, additions, subtractions. The first proposal for Utah’s Kimball Art Center (, not realized) is emblematic of this approach. The existing building has a certain orientation, but its extension seeks to face another direction, towards the main entrance to the mining town. The combination of the two blocks results in a torsion, which “automatically” materializes in the architectural volume. The diagram is just one of the tools used by Bjarke Ingels to describe his buildings. A skilled and histrionic communicator, Ingels has most certainly contributed to radically modifying the modes and languages to narrate an architectural design. Yes Is More: An Archicomic on Architectural Evolution() is his most famous publication, conceived as a manifesto for BIG’s activity. Rather than a traditional monographic book, it is presented as an exuberant “archicomic”, an editorial neologism invented by the author for this
