This trailer for upcoming film My Playground combines two of our favourite things: parkour and BIG’s Mountain Housing project. The film which is set to be released next year is about free running, parkour, and movement through urban space. The clip shows two of the free runners navigating through the carpark of BIG’s Mountain Housing project in Copenhagen amongst a number of other pieces of contemporary architecture.
