On Wednesday 25 September, Director and Architect Gideon Maasland will chair a session at the 2024 CTBUH International Conference in London, on Adaptive Reuse and Positioning in Europe. Bringing together leading practitioners drawn from architecture, engineering, and the civil service working on projects in Brussels, Paris, Madrid,  and Milan, Gideon will help elucidate the opportunities, rewards, and challenges presented by environmental and historical preservation laws to adaptive reuse and repositioning. 

Director and Architect Gideon Maasland joined MVRDV in 2016. With extensive experience acquired over a 15-year career at several high profile Dutch offices, Maasland leads MVRDV’s Studio 8, which is responsible for large-scale, complex buildings. Renowned for his detailed and dedicated approach, which is due to his diverse educational and professional background that not only includes extensive architectural practice, but also carpentry and construction methodology, Maasland’s work is hands-on. This proved invaluable to the success of his studio in the design and construction of multiple complex, large-scale projects, which meet design expectations in the completed building, and in consistently managed processes. To ensure the highest quality, Maasland is often on the construction site directly overseeing building processes.
