John Portman: A Life of Building

Once a maverick who was nearly run out of the American Institute of Architects, John Portman is now recognized as one of the most innovative and imitated architects ever. Over 45 years, Portman's iconic urban statements and eye-popping interiors have risen in 60 cities, redefining cityscapes in America, and skylines in China and the rest of Asia. The film captures Portman's approach in an intimate portrait that assesses and appreciates his work in a dramatic time-lapse of footage.
