Much sought-after Danish architect #BjarkeIngels (one of Time's 100 Most Influential People) embarks on his most ambitious project yet, NYC's new World Trade Center, in this energetic documentary. As a kid, Ingels considered the flat roof on his parents' house to be a waste of space - with considerable potential. His attitude to urban design was clearly in place from the start. Ingels's projects in his homeland (VM Houses, Mountain Dwellings and 8 House) gained him international acclaim, with their focus on liveability and renewables. His tradition-defying and wholehearted approach – "there is nothing more amazing than building buildings" – secured him his largest project yet, the new World Trade Center. Ingels, tagged "one of the design world's biggest stars" by The Wall Street Journal, relocates half his company to NYC. Award winning artist-director Schröder captures the acceleration in Ingels' already hectic life, and the architect's struggles to balance ambition, health and relationships. #BigTimeBjarke Ingels started out as a young man who dreamed of making comics, and now he has been hailed by The Wall Street Journal as "one of the architect world's biggest stars". BIG TIME follows him over a period of 5 years (2011-2016) while he struggles to complete his biggest project to date. We get behind both the creative process and the infinite number of compromises that the work requires, and we are involved when his private life is pressing on. His company Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) has been given the task of designing and building one of the skyscrapers that will replace the twin towers that collapsed on September 11, 2001. While he is in the process of creating a building that will change the New York skyline itself, he is hit by something as down-to-earth as health challenges. The film provides an intimate insight into this innovative and ambitious Dane, who the whole world celebrates as a genius.
