Overview
Peter Rice...An Engineer imagines is a cinematic homage to the life and ideas of Peter Rice widely regarded as the most distinguished structural engineer of the late twentieth century. Without Rices’s 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. Through a series of interviews with former colleagues, family and friends, interwoven with stunning time-lapse photography, we unfold the remarkable story of one of the great minds of the twentieth century; how man who pushed the boundaries of art and science to achieve the unimaginable. A genius who stood in the shadow of architectural icons. Until now.

[BARQ] There is an interesting vindication of the work of the engineer Peter Rice, which focuses on his best known works such as the Sydney Opera House or the Leaning Pyramid of the Louvre. But it seems that the project has more collaboration from the family than from his professional environment, because there are some curious archive images of Peter Rice at home, but few in his work, which perhaps would have been more interesting And that in fact can be found in the documentary medium-length film "Traces of Peter Rice" (Ben Richardson, 2012), produced by Ove Arup, the company where he developed a large part of his work, which is available on his YouTube channel.
