AV Proyectos 86 Dossier MVRDV

Description

The latest issue of ‘AV Proyectos’ covers recent projects of the Rotterdam-based studio MVRDV, whose propositive and nonconformist character is reflected in a prolific and varied body of work that approaches architecture as a tool for urban activation, proposing density, hybridization of uses, typological diversity, and colour. Another section gathers the finalist entries in the competition for the new branch of the Centre Pompidou in Brussels, where the winning team was formed by noAarchitecten, EM2N, and Sergison Bates. The chapter devoted to construction focusses this time on the broad range of uses of plastic materials, and includes a modular and adaptable roof, an inflatable pavilion, and a large translucid enclosure.
