“Bjarke Ingels reveals the demands of being one of the world's most successful architects, and its impact on his personal life and health, in the new documentary BIG Time. Film-maker Kaspar Astrup Schröder captures an intimate portrait of the architect as he decamps from Copenhagen to New York to set up BIG's second studio, suffers from debilitating health problems and falls in love.
“Astrup Schröder shot the film named BIG Time over the course of seven years, which saw the firm propelled to fame with the completion of a string of high-profile projects including VIA 57 West in New York and the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion in London.
“A concussion and subsequent discovery of a brain cyst add an extra layer of emotional investment for viewers, with MRI scans and doctors appointments punctuating the film.” - Dezeen
