AMO's renewable energy projects Zeekracht (for the North Sea), Roadmap 2050 (for the EU) and The Energy Report (for the WWF) appear today in a video made by Wallpaper for its new "Visionaries" series. OMA partner Reinier de Graaf and Associate Laura Baird explain the office's fundamentally different approach to the issue of sustainablility, seeking solutions "that transcend the scale of a building, a city, and even a nation, and at some point the scale of a continent."
