'ordos museum' by MAD 


MAD architects: ordos museum completed from designboom on Vimeo.


dutch photographer iwan baan has documented the recently completed and opened 'ordos museum' in ordos, china by
beijing-based practice MAD architects. situated at the create of a dune-like hill, the building appears to have landed
from another world into the recently created urban center within the once gobi desert. the masterplan is mindful of the existing
cultural traditions of the area while addressing the progress and future of the city, allowing the community to congregate and lounge
within the surrounding plazas. surfaced with metal panels, the undulating exterior protects the interior from the region's harsh winters
and sand storms.

upon entering the museum, an atrium with characteristics of a cave and canyon become apparent, introducing swaths of daylight
from above along with shadowed passages leading towards galleries. a series of bridges traverse the chasm from one void to another
guided by the changes in illumination. residents of the area may circulate through the interior to efficiently cross from one side of
the site to the other without entering exhibitions. employees of the center are provided a natural work environment with office and research spaces which flank a south-facing internal garden.

Fix it!

Fix it! The Energetic Society as a New Perspective on Governance for a Clean Economy: Maarten Hajer

The ambitious goal of a clean economy and a high-quality society can be achieved.

It is "the existing powers of creativity and innovation within society that offer opportunities for green growth,” says Maarten Hajer in The Energetic Society, the PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency Trends Report. Yet in order to exploit the potential of this energetic society, Hajer says, governments need to adjust and act in a timely way, otherwise they will be exposed to the powers of the energetic society that may effectively obstruct government initiatives. We need a new partnership and a new division of responsibilities.

Innovation means planning for action and initiative, accepting the fact that mistakes will be made, and making certain that improvements are identified and implemented rapidly. Such innovation calls for a different type of government based on the notion of “radical incrementalism.” Putting the sustainable achievements of institutions and businesses in digital, shareable form is important for providing valuable examples and feedback.

The challenge is to do more with less – something for which there is no instant solution. New ideas will constantly be required and may be stimulated by a government that commits itself to clear objectives and engages in new forms of social engagement.
