A cinematic homage to the life and ideas of Peter Rice, widely regarded as the most distinguished engineer of the late 20th century.
Without his innovations and collaborations with the leading architects of his time, some of the most recognizable buildings in the world would not have been possible.
The film traces Rice’s extraordinary work, from his native Ireland through, London, Sydney and Paris, to his untimely and tragic death in 1992.
Directed by 2014 Bafta Award-winning cinematographer and director Marcus Robinson, the film is a visual crie de couer to a visionary designer, bringing Rice’s inspiring creations to life to give a real sense of being located in the present day, almost as if Rice were still alive.
Through a series of interviews with former colleagues, family and friends, interwoven with the stunning time-lapse photography, An Engineer Imagines: Peter Rice unfolds the remarkable story of one of the great minds of the 20th century, and how man pushed the boundaries of art and science to achieve the unimaginable.
