Super man
A new documentary follows Bjarke Ingels on his journey to the top
Read moreBIG Time is a filmic portrait of Bjarke Ingels, recorded over a period of five years from 2011 to 2016, which documents the starchitect’s professional career alongside his personal life. Following Ingels through preparation for his biggest project to date, filling the void of the World Trade Center site in New York City, the documentary is charged with the pressure, conflict and emotion that accompanies leading an international architecture firm.
