MMEETS: Making a Mountain and Discussion with Hip V Hype Past Event
Join Hip V Hype for a panel discussion on sustainable architecture, followed by a free screening of the feature documentary Making a Mountain.
Making a Mountain follows the progress of the famously ambitious ‘CopenHill’ project, the world’s cleanest waste-to-energy plant with an artificial ski slope on the roof as the literal icing on the cake. Described as a ‘cinematic construction site symphony’, Making a Mountain follows architects BIG on a decade-long adventure to build one of the world’s most innovative examples of green architecture.
Bjarke Ingels Group’s Copenhill helps the city burn 70 tons of waste per hour and produces clean energy for 60,000 families while heating 120,000 homes. Its sloped rooftop invites the public to ski and snowboard all year round. With deep insights into the challenges and obstacles of building an impossible project, and a fascinating portrait of an iconoclast changing the way we think about cities, Making a Mountain inspires us all to dream big and serves as an example of the world-changing power of architecture.
