IABR
Down to Earth
This book about designing in times of climate crisis – the endgame is a given, we are smack dab in the middle of it – is the concluding project of DOWN TO EARTH, the antitypical 9th edition of the International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam. In a world in lockdown, chief curator George Brugmans turned the traditional biennale model inside out and focused on completely unfolding the IABR–Ateliers’ research on how to use the energy transition and water issue as leverage to find real world solutions to help realize the world community’s sustainable development goals.
Following our designs for the biennale IABR–DOWN TO EARTH. Horizontal navigation bars and a tab-system are designed to guide you through the rich book. The book
printed on 100% recycled paper in CMYK and two Pantones.
