MVRDV: Piece by PieceThe first Belgian exhibition of the internationally acclaimed Rotterdam-based architects MVRDV.
The exhibition follows the refurbishment of Argos' new exhibition space by MVRDV and aims to introduce the work of the group in a broader framework.
MVRDV was set up in 1991 by Winy Maas, Jacob van Rijs and Nathalie de Vries.
Over the years MVRDV have become internationally known for their designs and studies in the fields of architecture, urbanism, landscape design, and particularly for their exploration of density, urban data, open space and the environmental impact of building and architecture.
The architecture of MVRDV doesn't merely limit itself to issues about building, but is also concerned with the conceptual investigation and analysis of each assignment.
In that sense MVRDV have also become known for their innovative spatial paradigms, socially engaged approach to architecture, and - in particular - for their radical methodical research on density and public realms.
Through investigation and use of the complex amounts of data that accompany contemporary design processes, spaces are thus shaped.
The "products" of this approach can vary completely; they range from buildings of all types and sizes, to urban designs, publications and installations, video works as well as the development of software programs.
