In 2001 Bjarke Ingels founded the architecture office PLOT in Copenhagen with his Belgian colleague Julien de Smedt .

The office attracted international attention early on with its innovative designs. At the 2004 Venice Architecture Biennale, it received the Golden Lion for designing a concert hall in Stavanger , Norway. In 2005 PLOT won its first major competition with the VM-Houses project. Despite the great success, the partners separated in 2006 and founded the offices of Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and JULIEN DE SMEDT ARCHITECTS (JDS).

In 2010 Ingels opened an office in New York.
