BIG's amager bakke waste-to-energy plant breaks ground

BIG’s highly anticipated ‘amager bakke’ waste-to-energy plant has broken ground, officially beginning the construction phase of the new energy plant with socially charged features that transform the very fabric of copenhagen. using the typology and dimensions required of the industrial plant, BIG takes advantage to place a ski slope along the steep facade, creating a man-made mountain to be covered by the plentiful amounts of snow in the area. a smoke stock gathers CO2 emissions and expels it in the form of smoke rings illuminated by lasers, a physical manifestation of invisible waste.
