How does MVRDV NEXT balance innovation and industrialisation?

On 29 January at Yacademy, Associate Director, Head of MVRDV NEXT and architect Sanne van der Burgh will explain how the practice translates research and development into delivery and implementation. Starting with WoZoCo and MVRDV's excursions on density and finding spaces to live, Sanne will take students on a journey to Valley and how in-house tools and technology accelerated process and rationalised designs, and beyond. Elaborating on our software SolarScape and RoofScape, as well as the Paris Agreement, Sanne will demonstrate the necessity of innovation in delivering on climate in architecture, as well as the importance of transformations. 

Sanne leads multiple teams within MVRDV, realizing projects of various scales, phases, and across several continents. Sanne played an integral role in high-profile MVRDV projects including the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, the refurbishment of the Lyon Part Dieu shopping center, and a visionary project for revitalizing New Delhi’s sanitation and infrastructure: Barapullah Springs. Sanne is a versatile architect with demonstrated design achievements. In 2019, Architizer named her as one of 25 young architects to watch. In 2021, she was the winner of the Female Frontier Awards, organized by World Architecture News, winning the category “Innovation in Architecture”. Sanne regularly appears in lectures and juries worldwide.
