Curatorial team for IABR selected

International Architecture Biennal Rotterdam

The appointment of a new curatorial team with Saskia van Stein as president shows that the IABR will be striking out in a new direction. Decentralized collaboration models will be deployed to stimulate the integrated, intergenerational, and sustainable renewal of the profession at all levels. “Participating in and thinking about new ways to organize our living environment is a precondition for an equitable future.“

Exactly 50 years after the publication of The Limits to Growth form the Club of Rome, the 10th International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam (IABR 2022): IT’S ABOUT TIME, asks how architecture can respond to socioecological urgencies by considering time as a crucial factor in the design process.

The Limits to Growth

In 1972, the Club of Rome, an international group of academics, businessmen, diplomats, and industry leaders who were deeply concerned by the general conditions of life on planet Earth, published The Limits to Growth: A Report for the Club of Rome's Project on the Predicament of Mankind. The report was based on computer simulations – a novel technology at the time – generated by the Systems Dynamics Group at MIT (Cambridge, MA). The group studied the combined behavior of a set number of factors threatening human society on Earth: exponential population increase, agricultural production, non-renewable resource depletion, industrial output, and pollution generation.
