Of leidt de focus op iconische gebouwen juist af van de systeemverandering die écht nodig is?Met de selectie van MVRDV’s ontwerp Rotterdam ROCKS! als winnaar van de internationale ontwerpwedstrijd voor de Shift Embassy in Rotterdam is die vraag actueler dan ooit. Het ambitieuze duurzaamheidslandmark aan de Maas heeft bewondering én kritiek opgeroepen en opent een fundamenteel debat over de rol van architectuur in de klimaatcrisis.Tijdens deze editie van Carbon Stories brengen we uiteenlopende perspectieven samen om de spanning tussen doel en middel te onderzoeken.

Or does the focus on spectacular buildings distract from the systemic change that is truly needed?With the selection of MVRDV's Rotterdam ROCKS! as the winning design for the international Shift Embassy competition in Rotterdam, this question is more relevant than ever. The ambitious sustainability landmark on the banks of the River Maas has sparked both admiration and criticism, opening up a fundamental debate about the role of architecture in addressing the climate crisis.During this edition of Carbon Stories, we bring together diverse perspectives to critically explore the relation between ends and means. What is the purpose and necessity of spectacle architecture?
