This week on Dezeen, photographs were revealed of a building designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe nearly 70 years ago, which is finally under construction in the USA.

Named the Mies Building for the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design, the building was designed for Indiana University in the 1950s but forgotten about for decades.

Now over 50 years after the 20th-century architect's death it is set to be complete on the university's Bloomington campus.

Our carbon revolution series, which explores how carbon could be removed from the atmosphere and put to use on earth, continued with an interview with William McDonough.

The sustainable-design guru describing climate change as a "design failure" that involve "hundreds of technologies and systems" to solve.

As part of the series, we also interviewed the creators of a 2012  animation showing New York City being buried under a mountain of giant bubbles.

The computer-generated timelapse helped "make the cause of climate change visible" said the visualisers who made the viral video over a decade ago.
