The Energy Report is a two part, 256 page, downloadable/printable study developed by the WWF, leading international architecture firm OMA / AMO and Ecofys claiming that the world can be 100 percent reliant on renewable energy by 2050. The report proposes to address the urgent problems caused by looming climate change and dwindling fossil fuel supply through its assertion that by 2050, the world’s energy needs could be met entirely by renewable sources. It outlines an ambitious energy saving scenario as the first step toward an energy system in which fossil fuels are gradually replaced by wind, solar, geothermal, hydropower and sustainable forms of bio-energy.
The aim of the report is to inspire governments and businesses to understand the challenges associated with this shift and, at the same time, to encourage them to move boldly to bring the renewable economy into reality. By demonstrating the advantages of global cooperation and the deeper integration of global energy infrastructure, The Energy Report shows that the benefits of a transition to renewable energy far outweigh the challenges.
AMO’s contribution to the report, led by Partner Reinier de Graaf and Associate Laura Baird, both conceptualizes and visualizes the geographic, political, and cultural implications of a 100 percent renewable energy world. AMO draws a vision of a world without borders in which all continents have equal access to sustainable energy. Reinier de Graaf said: “The Energy Report is the first of its kind to claim the technical possibility of a global renewable energy supply by 2050. Through the realization that future energy provision really is a universal issue which must be addressed at a global scale, we have developed a new perspective on the world.”
The project builds on two foundational AMO projects on large scale renewable energy planning: Zeekracht, a plan made in 2008 for a ring of offshore wind farms in the North Sea, and Roadmap 2050, proposing a decarbonized European power sector by 2050, which was launched in April 2010.

Build Up! by LAB at Rockwell Group

Post pobrano z: Build Up! by LAB at Rockwell Group
Build Up! is a playful, collaborative, interactive installation by the LAB at Rockwell Group for the 25th Anniversary National Building Museum Honor Award Gala on May 17, 2011. 

Build Up! invited guests of the gala to work together to create a virtual cityscape that is projected onto a suspended structure above the gala space. Guests generated colorful buildings at iPad-embedded pedestals, and then “pushed” them up into the projected cityscape. The more buildings that guests added to the city, the more the environment comes to life, adding whimsical dirigibles and generative fireworks to the colorful atmosphere. Build Up! builds off the concepts and technologies that the LAB has been exploring, as well as Rockwell Group’s fascination with story-telling, play, and spectacle.
