“碳告白展”登陆鹿特丹：全方位揭密可持续建筑的真实世界 / MVRDV事务所

建筑行业占全球二氧化碳排放量的 39%，这为应对气候危机带来了巨大挑战。 通过在鹿特丹 Keilepand 举办的“碳告白”（Carbon Confessions）展览，MVRDV 对可持续建筑的复杂现实提供了坦诚而深刻的见解。 此次展览真实呈现了这家鹿特丹建筑事务所在努力降低项目碳排放过程中的成功与挣扎，邀请公众走到幕后，一探向可持续建筑转型的真实历程。
The construction sector is responsible for 39 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions, posing an enormous challenge in combatting the climate crisis. With the Carbon Confessions exhibition at the Keilepand in Rotterdam, MVRDV offers a candid insight into the complex reality of sustainable building. The exhibition showcases both the successes and struggles of the Rotterdam-based architecture firm in reducing their projects’ carbon emissions, inviting visitors to take a look behind the scenes of the transition to sustainable construction.

“碳告白”是一个全球巡回展览，在走过慕尼黑、柏林、巴黎和台北之后，如今正式回到 MVRDV 的大本营——鹿特丹。 本次展览的举办地 Keilepand 位于 Nieuw-Mathenesse 地区，这里曾经是一座果蔬仓库，如今已被改造为一座汇聚了众多致力于可持续未来创意企业的多元化综合办公楼。 展览占据了建筑内一处前工厂车间，带领参观者回顾 MVRDV 三十多年来在可持续发展道路上的雄心壮志——这里不仅有创意、理想和日常行动，也毫不掩饰地展示了曾经的失误与错失的良机。
Carbon Confessions is a travelling exhibition that, after visiting Munich, Berlin, Paris, and Taipei, is now arriving in Rotterdam – MVRDV’s home base. The venue is the Keilepand, a former fruit and vegetable warehouse in Nieuw-Mathenesse, which has been transformed into a multi-tenant building for creative businesses working towards a sustainable future. The exhibition occupies a section of one of the building’s former factory halls, taking visitors on a journey through more than 30 years of MVRDV’s sustainable ambitions – covering the ideas, ideals, everyday actions, but also the missteps and missed opportunities.

在鹿特丹的展览中，整个故事通过悬挂在蜿蜒轨道上的 120 多块展板娓娓道来。 展览以 MVRDV 的“碳时间线”为起点，追溯了事务所早期如何通过绿色致密化和改善交通来倡导可持续的居住环境。 这条时间线还披露了许多内部决策，例如成立“绿色梦想基金会”（The Green Dream Foundation）以抵消项目差旅产生的碳排放，以及在办公室内推行素食午餐的决定。 故事中一个反复出现的“主角”是 MVRDV NEXT——这是一个由技术和可持续发展专家组成的内部核心团队；在经历了多年过度依赖工作方式令人费解的外部可持续顾问之后，MVRDV 下定决心成立了该团队。
In the Rotterdam edition, the story is told through more than 120 panels that hang from a winding rail. It begins with MVRDV’s carbon storyline, starting with the office’s early advocacy for a sustainable living environment through green densification and improved mobility. This storyline also covers internal decisions such as the establishment of The Green Dream Foundation, created to offset the carbon emissions arising from project-related travel, and the decision to serve vegetarian lunches at the office. A recurring “character” in the story is MVRDV NEXT, a team of in-house specialists in technology and sustainability, which MVRDV established after years of overreliance on external sustainability consultants with inscrutable working methods.

顺着碳时间线看去，参观者可以深入了解 MVRDV 的建筑改造项目。 毕竟，翻修改造现有建筑而不是简单粗暴地拆除重建，正是减少碳排放最有效的方法之一。 紧随其后的是 23 个关于 MVRDV 尝试减碳的幕后轶事，内容涵盖了从工程师和顾问阻碍可持续选择的“反面教材”，到一位德国建筑商如何出人意料地对夯土墙产生浓厚兴趣的奇闻趣事。 作为补充，展览还展示了 22 个“碳案例”，在这些案例中，MVRDV 利用 CarbonSpace 计算了项目的隐含碳排放。CarbonSpace 是 MVRDV 向公众免费开放的一款在线工具，它能让所有人从画下第一张草图开始，就轻松计算出建筑设计的二氧化碳排放量。
After the carbon storyline, visitors can learn more about MVRDV’s transformation projects. After all, renovating an existing building rather than demolishing and rebuilding is one of the most effective ways to reduce carbon emissions. This is followed by 23 anecdotes about MVRDV’s attempts to achieve carbon reductions, ranging from examples of perverse incentives from engineers and consultants that hinder sustainable choices, to a German builder who became unexpectedly enthusiastic about rammed earth walls. These anecdotes are supplemented by 22 “carbon cases”, in which the embodied carbon emissions of MVRDV projects are calculated using CarbonSpace – an online tool that MVRDV has made freely available to the public, allowing everyone to calculate the carbo dioxide emissions of their building designs from the very first sketch.

在展览空间内，展台上陈列着一系列精选的低碳材料，其中不少是专为 MVRDV 项目量身定制研发的。 此外，参观者还可以看到精选的已落成改造项目模型，以及涵盖可持续发展领域各类主题的视频影像投影。 “碳告白”展览自身的设计也完美契合了其传递的环保理念 ；通过最大程度地重复利用前几届展览的物料，碳排放被降到了最低 。例如，展览的悬挂轨道和展板均回收自慕尼黑和柏林站，而现场的家具则是从 Keilepand 场地直接借用的，从而彻底避免了购置新家具带来的消耗 。
In the exhibition space, tables display a selection of low-carbon materials, many of which were specifically created for MVRDV projects. Visitors will also find a selection of models of completed transformation projects and a video projection covering various topics within the realm of sustainability. The design of the Carbon Confessions exhibition itself also follows the message of the exhibition; carbon emissions were deduced as far as possible by reusing materials from previous editions. For example, the railing and panels were recycled from the exhibitions in Munich and Berlin, while the furniture is on loan from the Keilepand, avoiding the purchase of new furniture.

“我们非常激动能将‘碳告白’带回我们的家乡鹿特丹，向大家展示可持续建筑最真实的一面，”展览策展人、MVRDV 中的“VR”Jacob van Rijs 表示。 “它提出了许多关于我们能够且应该如何进行更具可持续性设计的理念，例如，只要条件允许，改造优于拆除，这一点至关重要。”
“We’re thrilled that Carbon Confessions has now landed in our hometown of Rotterdam to show people the honest reality of sustainable building”, says Jacob van Rijs, the curator of the exhibition and the “VR” in MVRDV. “It presents many ideas outlining how we can and should design more sustainably, such as the crucial importance of transformations instead of demolition whenever possible.”

“‘碳告白’向我们展示了可持续发展如何要求我们去挑选正确的材料，以及我们如何能让这些材料像大自然一样不断进化，”MVRDV 中的“M”Winy Maas 说道。 “我们需要创造出能够适应、再生并为生态循环做出贡献的设计，而不是固守我们已知的常规。可持续建筑的未来是一个不断自我更新的动态系统。”
“Carbon Confessions shows how sustainability requires us to choose the right materials, and how we can enable those materials to evolve just as nature does”, says Winy Maas, the “M” in MVRDV. “Rather than sticking with what we know, we need to create designs that adapt, regenerate, and contribute to the ecological cycle. The future of sustainable architecture is a dynamic system that constantly renews itself.”

“通过这次展览，我们希望鼓励设计师们从项目启动之初就将碳影响纳入考量，”MVRDV 中的“DV”Nathalie de Vries 强调。 “最关键的是，我们不能坐等完美的数据出现；相反，我们必须利用现有的资源立即采取行动。CarbonSpace 在这方面发挥了关键作用，它帮助设计师从第一张草图开始就做出有意识的环保选择，从而真正为降低碳排放做出贡献。”
“With this exhibition, we hope to encourage designers to consider the carbon impact of their projects from the outset,” says Nathalie de Vries, the “DV” in MVRDV. “It’s crucial that we don’t wait for perfect data; rather we must take immediate action with the resources we have now. CarbonSpace plays a key role in this by helping designers make conscious choices from the very first sketch, thereby truly contributing to lower carbon emissions.”
