Winy Maas travels the world to teach students and investors about how architecture affects our urban existence. How does this visionary, for whom architecture is a synonym for life, spend his days?

This visually captivating look at the life of a famous architect also opens the door to considering the architecture of the future through the eyes of Rotterdam-based studio MVRDV, whose main aim is to link architecture, landscape planning, technology, ecology and design as the basis for creating a sustainable city. As the population grows, our concept of architecture needs to expand. The film shows the inner workings of a busy firm, how theoretical plans are converted into practice, and heated debates about competition designs. But for Winy Maas architecture is not just a job. He considers it his life’s mission and remains involved in pioneering projects even though their completion may be uncertain.
