Big Time follows Danish architect Bjarke Ingels over a period of 5 years.
Bjarke Ingels started out as a young man dreaming of creating cartoons. Now, he has been named
“one of architecture’s biggest stars” by The Wall Street Journal. BIG TIME follows Bjarke during th
course of 5 years (2011-2016), while he struggles to finish his biggest project so far. We are let into
Bjarke’s creative processes as well as the endless compromises that his work entails, and we are on
the side when his personal life starts putting pressure on him, too.
Bjarke Ingels’ company Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) has been given the task of designing and building
one of the skyscrapers, which will replace the Twin Towers, which collapsed on the 11th of September
2001 in Manhattan. While Bjarke is creating a building, which will change the New York skyline, he is
hit by health-related issues. The Film offers an intimate look into the innovative and ambitious Danish
architect, whom the entire world is celebrating as a genius.
This event is in partnership with the London Society of Architects
