Documentary following acclaimed Danish architect Bjarke Ingels as he embarks on his most ambitious project yet, NYC's new World Trade Center.
"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." (Sydney Film Festival)

"Mr. Schroder's film seems expressly designed to further burnish Mr. Ingels's reputation."

The New York Times
The New York Times"Ingels is both innovative and without a defining design philosophy. His enthusiasm and persistence pushes through buildings his clients didn't anticipate, and it's fascinating to see him take on gum-chewing Manhattan developers."

The Age
The Age"Occasionally gets bogged down in the sort of minutiae that would have been better left on the cutting room floor, but it also provides an insightful depiction of the personal and professional travails that inevitably accompany career success."
