MVRDVによる、2000年に完成させた初期代表作のひとつ「ハノーヴァー万博オランダ館」をコワーキング・オフィスに改修する計画「expo pavilion 2.0」です。本体建築の周囲に、学生寮・オフィス・駐車場が入る2棟の建設も構想しているとのこと。

MVRDV is today revealing its design to transform one of their own seminal projects from the practice’s early years, the Dutch Pavilion at the 2000 World Expo in Hannover. The transformation will convert the former Expo Pavilion into a co-working office building, and two new buildings will be added on the space surrounding the pavilion, one containing student housing and the other hosting offices and parking. MVRDV’s design maintains the qualities – including the forest on the 3rd floor – that made the pavilion an icon of the 2000 World Expo and reinterprets the original project’s concept for the two new buildings.
