Amazing Architecture from the Netherlands by MVRDV

September 24, 2009

Everytime I see these guys' works, I get even more impressed. It's modern and exciting. I'm talking about the Dutch architecture group called MVRDV. Winy Maas, Jacob van Rijs and Nathalie de Vries work together since 1993 and are known worldwide for the way they develop their projects.

The colors, the shapes, the constant preocupation with each development detail, and of course, the quest to transform each project into something to remember, have made MVRDV a notorious group, with a notorious style. In each project, we notice their attempt to change our way to see the world, always concerned about the context in which is being developed and about the way people will interact with each part of it.

To get more information about MVRDV, you may check their site at mvrdv.nl. Bellow, I've selected a few of their works that really give you a picture of why I admire these dutch guys so much.

Kwaa09/24/2009

Wow, those are sweet! But some of them are just fictional, right? I find it quite hard to believe that any city would approve an application to build something like that.

Cheers!

Very nice!

A site I saw a while back, called Nomad House, has some lovely modular structures for small living or office/bar purposes.

Menno09/24/2009

I grew up in Amsterdam and remember that neighborhood (where they built Wozoco) as being bleak. It's still not the best neighborhood to live in, but it's much more interesting now with those crazy blocks! It draws lots of architectural tourists too!

Rødovre Skyvillage = AWESOME!

Spikespiegel09/25/2009

As far as I know, the Rødovre Skyvillage has been approved by the danish government, Region Copnehagen and the
The municipality of Rødovre
