Architects design buildings. At least that’s what they were known to do. But some architects have pulled down the walls between their own domain and the world around them. And they have great ideas on marketing, on art, and also on energy on a Pan European level. OMA partner Reinier de Graaf did just that and contributed to Roadmap 2050, an initiative of the European Climate Foundation. Roadmap 2050 developed a model for sustainable energy sources that also includes Northern Africa.
In his stunning performance on TEDxRotterdam Reinier de Graaf takes you on a journey towards a zero carbon Europe.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
