IABR-2016-the next economy

This edition of the 7th International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam explores the role of spatial design in the city of tomorrow, offering perspectives on the city that we desire: one that puts a premium on the public domain, is socially inclusive, runs on clean energy, and where the economy adds local value, guided by a social agenda. This catalogue contains descriptions of every project in the exhibition, plus an introduction to the programme. Also included are a number of essays contributed by Keller Easterling, Edgar Pieterse, Mark Swilling, and Maarten Hajer. A special second section analyses and evaluates the distinctive research by design methodology that the IABR has developed.
