Making a Mountain
55 mins.
Starchitect Bjarke Ingels makes the impossible possible. Making a Mountain follows the progress of his ambitious project CopenHill, the world’s cleanest waste-to-energy plant, with a rooftop ski slope as the icing on the cake. A megalomaniac complex in which BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group) spectacularly unites recreation and industry, two worlds far apart up to now. According to Ingels, the city as a manmade ecosystem is the future, and the CopenHill project marks the start of this shift. It is a film about an amazing project, a tenacious client, and an architect with big dreams.
