RSHP, led by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, has won a contest to reimagine the Jean Moulin site in Paris, La Défense, with a focus on low-carbon structures and mixed-use design. The project aims to incorporate embodied and operational carbon considerations and features a 15-storey tower for residences and a six- to eight-storey building for flexible office space. Meanwhile, the RIBA president emphasizes architects' role in reducing carbon impact and calls for measures to limit warming of the planet to 1.5°C. COP 28 agreements include commitments to energy efficiency and timber use, with concerns raised about a conflict of interest involving the summit's leadership.
