MVRDV is known for their interdisciplinary approaches to contemporary architecture and architecture's impact on urban issues. Designing innovative structures like the Tianjin Binhai Public Library and Glass Farm MVRDV will discuss their firm's design ethos and approach in an upcoming exhibition this July. Founding partner Nathalie de Vries shares in a recent press release the firm's excitement for the exhibition and the opportunity to reflect on their past work. According to de Vries, "...the creation and curation of Architecture Speaks was an opportunity for us to reflect on our work, to define theoretical categories and place projects from our firm's recent trajectory into a larger framework of ideas."
The location of the exhibition will be held in the aut's Adambräu Building, a former brewhouse in Innsbruck, Austria. Architecture Speaks shows examples of MVRDV's design process using four towers which represent the spatial intervention of the following words "stack”, “pixel”, “village”, and “activator.” Through this exploration the exhibition creates an immersive experience that takes visitors through the fundamentals of the firm's design ethos and process.
"Architecture Speaks will investigate these ideas in a holistic, easily approachable fashion. The main space of the Adambräu Building will be transformed by four colorful towers, each a representation of one of the four words central to the exhibition, which will present MVRDV’s projects and the ideas behind them through images, text, models, drawings, videos, audio, interactive elements, and other experiential methods. In addition to each representing a different word from the language of MVRDV, each tower will present MVRDV buildings through different media, making a visit to Architecture Speaks a truly diverse experience that will enlighten and entertain a variety of audiences."
The exhibition will be on display to the public at the aut's Adambräu Building on Lois Welzenbacher Platz in Innsbruck, Austria from July 6th to September 28th. The event is free and open to the public.
