BIG Bunker Museum<a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/bjarke-ingels-group/">Bjarke Ingels Group</a>'s design for the <a href="http://www.archiscene.net/museum/blavand-bunkermuseum-big/">Blåvand Bunker Museum</a> in Varde, Denmark is a modern structure that would preserve the country's World War II history. The proposed museum would be built into an embankment that was built by German forces during the World War II occupation of Denmark. BIG's plan calls for the preservation of existing bunkers, with glassy, green-roofed structures built around them. Located near the North Sea coast in southern Denmark, the bunker museum is built into a hill and looks out on the beautiful surrounding landscape.1
