Architecture Salon| MVRDV in Taiwan: Spring, Hills, Rock and Gem

‍Event Content

If you are a long-time architecture enthusiast who has followed MVRDV for years, you will surely recall the vibrant giant structure made of building blocks from the 2011 Vertical Village exhibition and the refreshingly innovative thinking behind it. Over a decade later, MVRDV has evolved from a firm centered on its three founders into a network of multiple autonomous regional offices. It now encompasses numerous specialized departments, such as Studio 8, Studio Urban, Studio Public, and the R&D-focused Studio Next, alongside its think tank, The Why Factory. While its scale continues to grow, its vibrant atmosphere and proactive approach to the future remain unchanged.

If you first encountered this Dutch team through their 2020 project “Tainan Spring,” you will be excited to discover their ongoing commitment to Taiwan. Beyond the recent “Tainan Market,” their “Sun Rock” project in the Changbin Industrial Park is poised to debut. In this lecture, MVRDV’s Chief Strategy Officer Jan Knikker and Taiwan Director Hui-Hsin Liao will jointly share these designs realized in Taiwan and how MVRDV has continued to break boundaries with freedom amidst contemporary trends.
