According to The Wall Street Journal Bjarke Ingels has "rapidly become one of the design world's biggest stars," and his name recently appeared in TIME'S 100 Most Influential People. The film is an intimate insight into the life of a genius' innovative mind and his struggle to maintain his own persona while making the world a better place to live. It follows star architect Bjarke Ingels over a period of six years as he struggles to complete his largest projects yet, the New York skyscraper W57 and World Trade Center 2.
