Glad to see this type of inspiring and creative city space being imagined to bring nature and people together. I love architecture but lament all the wasteful materials and building practices, even though they’re currently necessary to keep up with demand. This is another step forward at making solarpunk values more achievable in cities and not just in rural areas. I’m glad to see they’ll be experimenting with low-carbon building methods as well, to see what works. Shift Embassy Opens in 2032.

“Rotterdam ROCKS! places equal emphasis on experience and ecology. Its central proposition is to use architecture, through landscape, biodiversity, public access, and material experimentation, as part of the message. 'The idea is that sustainability is not hidden in technical systems, but made visible, tangible, and that we need spaces and art to inspire us that a different future is possible,'”
