“碳的独白”展览，德国 / MVRDV

在全球面临日益严峻的气候危机之际，建筑行业正承受减少碳排放的巨大压力，这促使人们全面重新思考建筑的开发方式。荷兰建筑事务所MVRDV长期以来强调可持续性，其理念与这一变革高度契合。但在实践中，这究竟意味着什么？在慕尼黑建筑画廊（Architekturgalerie）举办的全新展览“碳的独白”（Carbon Confessions）中，MVRDV从德国人所称的建筑革命（Bauwende）核心地带，讲述了自己的故事。展览展示了他们在减少碳排放道路上的理念、理想、日常行动——以及失误与错失的机会。

 

As the world faces an increasingly urgent climate crisis, there is growing pressure for the construction industry to reduce its carbon emissions, prompting a wholesale rethink of the way buildings are developed. As a practice with a longstanding emphasis on sustainability, Dutch architects MVRDV are strongly aligned with the principles of this change. But what does that mean in practice?In Carbon Confessions, a new exhibition in Munich’s Architekturgalerie, MVRDV tells their story from the heart of what Germans call the Bauwende, or construction revolution. The exhibition shows the ideas, ideals, everyday actions – and yes, the missteps and missed opportunities – of their quest for carbon reductions.

此次展览设于Blumenstraße高层掩体的三层楼内。该建筑最初建于1941年，自2021年以来成为慕尼黑建筑画廊的所在地。展览的每层楼从不同角度呈现MVRDV推动建筑革命的努力。掩体的中层（主入口所在）是展览的核心。在墙面上，一条由22个章节组成的叙事线讲述了MVRDV在可持续发展中的历程，包括事务所早期倡导高密度与可持续交通的努力，通过素食午餐和创建“绿色梦想基金会”（The Green Dream Foundation）来抵消旅行排放，过度依赖可持续性顾问的失误，以及成立MVRDV NEXT——事务所内部的气候与技术联合部门，以推动当前对碳问题的研究与实践。

 

The exhibition occupies three floors of the BlumenstraBe high-rise bunker, a structure originally built in 1941 that has been the home of Architekturgalerie München since 2021. Each floor presents a different perspective on MVRDV’s efforts to advance the construction revolution. The middle floor, where the bunker’s main entrance is located, forms the core of the exhibition. On the walls is a 22-chapter storyline of MVRDV’s journey in sustainability, including the office’s early evangelism for density and mobility, its efforts to implement sustainability in its own operations with vegetarian lunches and the creation of The Green Dream Foundation to offset its travel emissions, its missteps in relying too heavily on sustainability consultants, and the foundation of MVRDV NEXT, a combined climate and technology unit within the office that helps to drive the firm’s current focus on carbon.

房间中央设置了一组“旋转木马”式的面板展示装置，安装在圆形轨道上（由画廊上一场展览借用），讲述22个低碳项目实践故事。这些故事包括工程师和顾问因反常激励机制而反对可持续解决方案的案例，以及一位德国建筑商对夯土墙潜力的意外热情。配合这些故事的还有12份“碳案例”，展示了使用CarbonScape软件计算出的MVRDV项目中隐含的碳排放量。这些案例提供了MVRDV目前用于衡量并改变项目气候影响的方法透明度，而该软件即将向公众开放使用。

 

In the centre of this room is a “carousel” of panels – mounted on a circular rail that was loaned from the gallery’s previous exhibition – that provide 22 anecdotes of how a push for low-carbon projects works in practice, from a look into the perverse incentives that cause engineers and other consultants to advise against sustainable solutions to the story of a German builder who proved unexpectedly excited about the potential of rammed earth walls. Accompanying these anecdotes are 12 “carbon cases” showing calculations of the embodied carbon of MVRDV projects using the software CarbonScape – which MVRDV will soon launch for public use. These carbon cases provide transparency into the methodology MVRDV now uses to measure, and more importantly change, the climate impact of its projects.

展览的二楼展示了一系列改造项目，强调改造而非拆除和替代现有建筑，可能是减少开发碳影响的最有效单一方法。展出的改造项目包括MVRDV的一些已完成和在建项目，以及Van Rijs在柏林工业大学“反纪念碑”（Anti-Monument）课程中学生设计的作品。此外，该楼层还展示了一些低碳材料样本，这些材料被用于或为MVRDV项目特别开发。空间中央设置了一面“8”字形轨道上的帷幕。这块帷幕曾用于MVRDV在台北国际书展的荷兰馆展览中，现被重新利用，将此楼层转化为展览活动空间。

 

On the second floor, visitors will find a presentation of transformation projects. This emphasises the fact that transforming, rather than of demolishing and replacing, existing buildings is perhaps the most effective single method to reduce the carbon impact of development. The presented transformations include a selection of MVRDV’s projects, both completed and still in progress, as well as student designs generated in Van Rijs’ “Anti-Monument” course in TU Berlin. Also on this floor is a presentation of low-carbon material samples that have been used in, or in some cases specially developed for, MVRDV projects. In the centre of this space is a curtain on a figure-eight- shaped rail. This curtain – which has been reused from MVRDV’s Dutch Pavilion at the Taipei International Book Exhibition – turns this floor into an event space for the exhibition.

“碳的独白”展览在慕尼黑建筑画廊（Architekturgalerie München），Blumenstraße 22展出，展期至2025年2月27日。CarbonScape软件作为展览的重要组成部分，其开发工作近期已由MVRDV完成。目前，该工具正在外部测试群体中测试，随后将作为一个开放平台面向公众推出。本次展览共产生44公斤的二氧化碳排放量，这一较低数字得益于对前几场展览家具的再利用。展览全程不会产生任何废弃物。

 

Carbon Confessions is on display at the Architekturgalerie MÃnchen, Blumenstrasse22, until February 27th, 2025. The development of the software CarbonScape, which forms a key element of the exhibition, has recently been finalised by MVRDV. The tool is currently being tested by an external beta group before it will be launched as a public open platform. The exhibition produced a total of 44 kilograms of CO2. This low number was achieved thanks to the recycling of furnishings from previous exhibitions. The exhibition will not create any waste.
