Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) designs the new Danish Neuroscience Center (DNC) in Aarhus. The new project will stand as the first of its kind, as it brings together the fields of psychiatry and neuroscience under one roof. And the inspiration for the building came from a unique yet not unexpected place: the human brain!
