Can we then still redesign our living environment to ensure a sustainable balance, also with all other life forms? George Brugmans chose energy transition and water management as levers for design research aimed at transformational real-world change. Drought in the Dutch Delta, rising sea levels, the need to stop using natural gas in our homes - these are issues for which we urgently must find solutions that can simultaneously be used as leverage for broader change. Brugmans anchors this research methodologically in the history of the IABR, which in the past years has explored how, as a cultural institution, it could design for results in times of climate crisis. DOWN TO EARTH is a visually rich account of an antitypical biennale in times of pandemic, and also - with essays by George Brugmans and Dirk Sijmons and a dialogue between lecturers and students of the Rotterdam Academy of Architecture and Urban Design - a critical reflection on the position of designers at a time when the anthropogenic climate crisis is forcing humanity into the endgame."--Publisher information.20aInternational Architecture Biennale Rotterdamn(9th :d2020-2021 :cRotterdam, Netherlands)27aInternational Architecture Biennale Rotterdam2fast 0aSustainable architecture. 0aSustainable buildingsxDesign and construction. 6aArchitecture durable. 7aSustainable architecture2fast 7aSustainable buildingsxDesign and construction2fast1 aBrugmans, George,eeditor,eauthor.08z9789462088016iDutch edition
