"MVRDV’s radical, research-driven methodology has been a source of fascination to critics and competitors from the start. 'No one else has found as convincing a way,' writes the historian Lootsma, of 'showing the spatial consequences of the desires of the individual parties involved in a design process, confronting them with each other and opening a debate with society, instead of just fighting for one or the other, as most architects would.'

Trost and scapes...
the article is good, but it would have been much more effective if the pictures matched up with the text. instead of showing some of the slicker/sexier projects, maybe show some of the ones like pig city and the monopoly-house development and the expo project that really illustrate their space-driven thinking. that way those nyt readers who don't already know what they've been about could see what it means.
