review 1: Well I read most of this some months ago now. But it's come back into focus as I populate my GoodReads account.YES IS MORE - This awesome book refreshingly foregrounds the tactics and idea[s:] of architecture over and above the finish and form photos we are so accustomed to. BIG are an inspiration to progressive practices and astute students alike. Yes Is More contextualises the design processes of the practice. These rigorous and inclusive processes shore-up BIG's product as a fait accompli.Will update with more soon.
review 2: The format was a great way of explaining the studio's work, and I found that these projects started popping up in my head long after I "read" about them...which is much more than I can say about most text on architecture. Unless it's i... morencredibly inspiring, of course.That being said, I think BIG's work flopped after a while into the book, even started being repetitive. Many of the building's stories started being the same - pretty boring for a comic book! And...Bjarke Ingels' character, a constant little architec-toon of narration, really starts wearing on the nerves after a few passages. The work is supposed to be more basic than most monographs in order to appeal to the public...but he waters down some thoughts so much they lost their effectiveness. less
