I believe that if we were to truly adapt to the current ecological crisis, the architecture profession and industry needs to undergo some real radical changes. It is through bold and provocative projects, like the ones showcased by the Jacques Rougerie Foundation, that we could develop compelling alternatives to the existing broken system.
