Reiterated in his address was a need to change the model and how as a collective, we can solve the problem. 'We can't leave it up to international government agreements, we simply won't get there.

His speech rallied for a call to urgent action, a call to reflect on our architectural process, decisions and awards and above all, a call for courage.
