MVRDV is a Dutch architecture firm founded in 1993 in Rotterdam . MVRDV is an abbreviation for the last names of the architects Winy Maas , Jacob van Rijs and Nathalie de Vries . MVRDV is known for experimental design and has played a major role in the renewal of Dutch architecture .
founding
Maas, Van Rijs and De Vries completed their architecture diploma at the TU Delft in 1990 . Winy Maas also studied urban planning . Prior to founding MVRDV Maas and Van Rijs worked among others for the Office for Metropolitan Architecture of Rem Koolhaas .
Maas, Van Rijs and De Vries took part in Europan 2 in Berlin , a competition of around 20 countries for young architects and urban planners. The three won with their design 'Berlin Voids' and decided to continue working together. So they founded the MVRDV office, which, in addition to building drafts, deals with urban planning and landscape architecture and publishes publications about them. There are now more than 30 employees.
Well-known projects
MVRDV quickly became known with extraordinary projects. In 1993 they designed the Villa VPRO for radio in Hilversum , which was completed in 1997. In the same year a sensational housing project was completed in Amsterdam , the 100 WOZOCOs (from the Dutch wo on zo rg co mplex). From the main facade of the nine-storey building, monumental cubes protrude up to eleven meters horizontally. Colorful balconies are in front of these cantilevered blocks. In 1997, MVRDV received the Merkelbachprijs for this building .
For the Expo 2000 in Hanover MVRDV designed the pavilion of the Netherlands , which was described as the most impressive building of the world exhibition. Seven Dutch landscape types were layered on top of one another in one structure. In doing so, they took up their own trademark, the stacking of architecture, and at the same time thematized the complexity and density of the Netherlands architecturally.
In 2002 the silo dam in Amsterdam, which is located directly on the water and is reminiscent of a loaded container ship, was completed.
The high-rise residential building Mirador in a Madrid suburb is characterized by a striking breakthrough on which there is a viewing terrace.
The Markthal in Rotterdam , a combination of residential building and market hall, opened in October 2014 . On the inside of the vault there is an 11,000 m 2 painting that extends over the entire arch. The building is 120 meters long, 70 meters wide and 40 meters at the highest point of the arch.
Recognizability
Striking recurring elements in the MVRDV plant are stacking in different variants. This creates large blocks that provide an answer to a central aspect of their research: the increasing density of buildings in cities, not least in the Netherlands.
The Why Factory
In cooperation with the TU Delft, MVRDV runs the research project “The Why Factory” (short “t? F”). The students develop new ways and scenarios for the development of contemporary cities. The research project consists of independent studios, doctoral classes, workshops and debates. In cooperation with the Dutch publisher nai010, "The Why Factory" published several books in the "Future Cities" series. The studio's head professor is Winy Maas.
