‍Event Content

If you are an avid architecture fan who has been following MVRDV for many years, you should also remember the colorful blocks from the Vertical Village 2011 exhibition, as well as the eye-catching new thinking. Over the past few decades, MVRDV has evolved from what was originally a three-person, founder-centric office into several autonomous regional offices, plus numerous departments established for different orientations (such as Studio 8, Studio Urban, Studio Public, and Studio Next, which is responsible for research and development, etc.) There is a think tank, The Why Factory, which grows in size and day to day, and what remains unchanged is a vibrant atmosphere and a positive attitude towards the future.

If you know this team from the Netherlands due to the completion of the “Kaura Square Tainan Spring” in 2020, you will find that they are constantly cultivating in Taiwan, with the recent addition of the “Tainan New Fruit and Vegetable Market Tainan Market” and the “Light Stone Offshore Wind Power Plant Operation Center in Changhin Industrial Zone Sun Rock” See you soon. In this talk, MVRDV Chief Strategy Officer Jan Knikker and Taiwan Director Liao Hui-Xin will share these designs they implemented in Taiwan and how MVRDV continues to break free and local in the current wave of freedom.
