MVRDV has the immense ambition to live up that housing projects, above all, respect the human scale, and are flexible, diverse, innovative, sustainable, social, affordable, and exciting. We work at every scale, from single-family houses to monumental buildings containing over 1,000 apartments. Senior associate Maria López speaks about MVRDV’s vision and ambition at the ORT University Uruguay. 

Associate, and Architect, Maria López Calleja, oversees the design process of MVRDV’s Das Studio’s German projects, and is responsible for BIM implementation and development within MVRDV.

Under her leadership, these projects have received critical acclaim, for their expressive and innovative forms, and their impact on their respective urban contexts.
