This week on Dezeen, we spoke to Frank Gehry about the environmental performance of his latest project, The Tower in the French town of Arles.
In an exclusive interview with Dezeen, the 92-year-old Canadian-American architect said The Tower responds to concerns about the carbon footprint of architecture.
"We fit into it," he said. "But I can't explain it. I respond to every fucking detail of the time we're in with the people we live with, in this place."

We continued our carbon revolution series with a pair of stories focused on hemp, which can capture atmospheric carbon twice as effectively as forests, according to Cambridge University researcher Darshil Shah.
However, the use of hemp in architecture and design is being held back by "ridiculous" rules, a UK farmer who a house made from the material told Dezeen.
As part of the series, we also interviewed Pakistani architect Yasmeen Lari who said that using "ancient wisdoms and techniques" can lead to carbon-neutral buildings.
