Rotterdam has 18.5 km2 of – mostly empty – flat roofs. Why has the city only made use of a limited number of roofs, when there is so much potential in doing so? To address this topic, the City of Rotterdam commissioned MVRDV and Rotterdam Rooftop Days to produce a catalogue of 130 innovative ideas to make use of the city’s roofs, giving rise to a fantastic new phase of development in Rotterdam.
MVRDV revealed “Marble Arch Hill”, a temporary installation next to London’s Marble Arch that will add a new attraction to the area beginning in July this year.
Work has begun on Matrix 1, a six-storey office and laboratory complex in the heart of Amsterdam Science Park with a striking open staircase as a connecting element
MVRDV has designed a colourful panorama of plants and trees for the façade of the Flores Tower, working in collaboration with Arttenders and Flemish artist Alex Verhaest
Located in Rotterdam’s Museumpark, the depot features a new type of experience for museum visitors: a sturdy engine room where the complete collection of 151,000 objects is made accessible to the public
