What topics and themes does MVRDV think about when designing for sustainability and circularity?
On 22 April, founding partner and principal architect Winy Maas will deliver a keynote at the EIT Culture & Creativity Innovation Forum in Nice, in which he'll discuss the some of the foundational principles and research underpinning an array MVRDV's key projects, such as Expo 2000, Valley, and the Rooftop Catalogue. Assessing the challenges of the future, and in particular the industry's responsible to reduce and minimise carbon impacts, Winy will reference not just the importance of material choices in new construction, but also transformations and delivering new life and programming to existing buildings, such as the Pyramid of Tirana and Tripolis Park. Winy will conclude with how we can deliver the cities of the future through climate adaptation.
