How is MVRDV adapting to Paris commitments, and how does this affect our work on sustainability and climate?

On Friday 28 February, Associate, Climate Lead, and Operational Manager Boudewijn Thomas will deliver a talk at Teulo in which he'll explain how MVRDV's toolkit is evolving to help our designs satisfy Paris Agreement requirements. Elaborating on our IPAI project and RoofScape software, Boudewijn will explain to an audience of architects in New Zealand how to assess where they are on their own sustainability journeys. He will further provide guidance on how it's possible to push themselves and their clients to deliver Paris-proof projects, and which tools should be selected in sustainable design.

Boudewijn is an Associate, Climate Lead, and Operational Manager at MVRDV NEXT, the practice’s R&D team. He currently leads the climate team, focusing on creating measurable, immediate impacts that support MVRDV’s climate goals across its projects.

One of Boudewijn’s standout contributions includes his work on the Valley project in Amsterdam, where he led the automated design of over 40,000 tiles across a 10,000 m² complex façade, achieving remarkable speed, precision, and efficiency.

His career spans international experience at architecture firms in China and New Zealand. Known for his deep expertise, personal approach, and optimism, Boudewijn inspires and empowers others to take meaningful steps toward positive change.
