MVRDVの創立パートナーであるヴィニー・マースとファン・ボーフェン・アルキテクテン(Van Boven Architecten)の
テオデベルト・ヴァン・ボーフェン(Theobert van Boven)の2人は、ギムナジウム・ベークフリートの卒業生として、オランダのシント・ミヒェルスゲステル村の旧中学校を改造することになりました。チーム・オールド・ビークフリートによる設計の主な要素は、学校の広場にまで届くカラフルで流れるような増築部分で、建物の中心部に新しい焦点を作り出し、回遊性を大幅に向上させます。ヴィジュアルアーティストのイアン・カークパトリック(Ian Kirkpatrick)の作品が展示され、学校の活動の新たな中心的存在となります。完成は2022年7月の予定です。

For over 25 years, Olafur Eliasson’s work has explored perception, movement, embodied experience, and feelings of self. Art, for him, is a crucial means for turning thinking into doing in the world. Eliasson’s diverse works – including sculpture, painting, photography, film, and installations – have been exhibited widely throughout the world. Beyond the museum and gallery, his practice engages the broader public sphere through architectural projects and interventions in civic space. Eliasson’s art invites viewers to explore future forms of coexistence by welcoming multiple perspectives – human and non-human alike. For his solo show at the Fondation Beyeler, the artist immersed the museum in a border-crossing investigation of our preconceptions of nature and culture.

Practice directors Jonathan Sergison, Stephen Bates and Mark Tuff present recent projects designed from Sergison Bates’ offices in London and Zurich as part of the Barbican Centre and Architecture Foundation’s Architecture on Stage programme.
Recent projects include the Harbour Building in Antwerp, a courtyard housing scheme in Lavender Hill and a mansion block in Hampstead designed for the senior housing provider Pegasus Life. In partnership with noArchitecten and EM2N the practice is currently transforming the Yser Citroën car factory at the heart of Brussels into the ‘Kanal’ arts and cultural venue, to house the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art and CIVA Architecture Museum.
