The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. Landscape and Energy is a ground-breaking book about the effect of this transition on our environment. This book Landscape and Energy. Designing Transition is the first to visually compare the spatial footprints of all relevant energy sources; it explains the driving forces behind the exponential growth of our use of energy and sketches the breath-taking task that lies ahead for spatial designers, planners and politicians. The options and choices for an emerging post-fossil landscape are elaborated in a wide variety of case study designs. After all, energy is relevant at every scale and all levels of abstraction, from global political strategies to the solar panel on the roof. The challenges receive due attention in a series of essays on the energy market, the role of politics, the psychology of transition, and technical developments and constraints. Ultimately, the transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy proves to be much more than a technical task for professionals. On closer consideration, the energy transition above all is a cultural task that affects everyone.

Without reservations, DOWN TO EARTH starts from the observation that the climate crisis is a given, and that we are already in over our heads. Can we then still redesign our living environment to ensure a sustainable balance, also with all other life forms?00George Brugmans chose energy transition and water management as levers for design research aimed at transformational real-world change. Drought in the Dutch Delta, rising sea levels, the need to stop using natural gas in our homes ? these are issues for which we urgently must find solutions that can simultaneously be used as leverage for broader change. Brugmans anchors this research methodologically in the history of the IABR, which in the past years has explored how, as a cultural institution, it could design for results in times of climate crisis.00DOWN TO EARTH is a visually rich account of an antitypical biennale in times of pandemic, and also ? with essays by George Brugmans and Dirk Sijmons and a dialogue between lecturers and students of the Rotterdam Academy of Architecture and Urban Design? a critical reflection on the position of designers at a time when the anthropogenic climate crisis is forcing humanity into the endgame.

Zonder omwegen vertrekt DOWN TO EARTH vanuit de vaststelling dat de klimaatcrisis een hard gegeven is: we zitten er middenin. Kunnen we dan onze leefomgeving nog herontwerpen in een duurzame balans, ook met alle andere levensvormen? George Brugmans koos voor energietransitie en wateropgave als hefbomen voor op urgente en concrete verandering gericht onderzoek. De delta droogt uit, de zeewaterspiegel stijgt, huizen moeten van het gas af: het zijn vraagstukken waarvoor we dringend oplossingen moeten vinden die tegelijkertijd kunnen worden ingezet als hefboom voor bredere verandering. Brugmans aardt dit onderzoek methodologisch in de geschiedenis van de IABR, die de afgelopen jaren een aanpak heeft verkend voor hoe als culturele instelling resultaatgericht te ontwerpen in klimaatcrisistijd. DOWN TO EARTH is een visueel rijke verslaglegging van een antitypische biënnale in tijden van pandemie, en tevens met essays van George Brugmans en Dirk Sijmons en een dialoog tussen docenten en studenten van de Rotterdamse Academie van Bouwkunst een kritische reflectie op de positie van ontwerpers nu de antropogene klimaatcrisis de mensheid tot het eindspel dwingt.
