Sir David Chipperfield founded David Chipperfield Architects in 1985 and has since become one of the world’s most admired architecture firms, having won several international competitions and completed more than 100 built works.
The Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin’s Kulturforum is one of the icons of twentieth-century architecture. The only building realized by Mies van der Rohe in Europe after his emigration to the USA, the Neue Nationalgalerie has been dedicated to the art of the twentieth century since its opening in 1968. After almost 50 years, the damage, deficiencies, and deficits of intensive use are to be carefully and sustainably addressed, within the restrictions imposed by the building’s status as a listed monument. The process of refurbishment and modernisation aims for maximum preservation of the existing fabric, with a minimum visual compromise to the building’s original appearance.

The “M” of MVRDV, Founding Partner and Principal Architect Winy Maas, has received international acclaim for his broad range of urban planning and building projects. MVRDV’s extraordinary new project Depot Van Beuningen is the world’s first fully accessible art depot, located at Museum Park in the center of Rotterdam. The building has drawn huge interest for its radical and potentially revolutionary approach to open arts storage.

Pritzker Prize-winning Japanese architect Tadao Ando is one of the most renowned designers in the field today. His work, defined by large expanses of unadorned concrete and emotive use of natural elements like sunlight, water, and wind, has become definitive of contemporary Japanese architecture, but his influence extends the world around. His most recent project embeds a new exhibition space for contemporary art into a neoclassical landmark building in the center of Paris. Responding to the existing structure, which was built at the end of the 18th century as the Halle aux blés for use by grain traders and converted in the 19th century into the Bourse de commerce by Henri Blondel, Ando has created a space that connects Paris’s rich architectural past with the present and future.

Lina Ghotmeh (b. 1980) initially wanted to be an archaeologist but carried out her architectural studies at the American University of Beirut. She looked at the notions of memory, space, and landscape through her own methodology entitled Archeology of the future. After graduating and being awarded both the Azar and Areen prizes, Lina pursued her education at the École Spéciale d’Architecture in Paris, where she took on a teaching role as an Associate Professor between 2008 and 2015. In 2005, while working in London and collaborating with Ateliers Jean Nouvel and Foster & Partners, she won the international competition for the design of the Estonian National Museum. Following this victory, she co-founded her first studio, DGT Architects, in Paris and led the realisation of the large-scale project of the National Museum. Acclaimed unanimously by the international press and has won prestigious awards (Grand Prix AFEX 2016 & nominated for the Mies Van der Rohe Award 2017), the museum became the symbol for avant-gardist architecture, combining pertinence and subtlety. Stone Garden was part of La Biennale di Venezia in 2021.

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.

“Screw you; it can be built.” Meet British architect Sir Peter Cook who talks about the possible benefits of drawing by hand and explains why he disagrees with critics calling his architectural ideas utopian.
“By the critics and the regular people saying it’s utopian, you put it into a pigeonhole that says: ‘Oh, those sorts of architects are utopian, but we are normal architects.’ So, the delight I get out of doing buildings is to say: Screw you, it can be built.”
Peter Cook (b. 1936) grew up in the city of Lester in the latter part of the second world war. The town had a lot of cultural activities, and he accompanied his mother, a frustrated artist, to galleries, operas, and symphony concerts from a very young age. Around the age of eleven, he started reading books about architecture and was already fascinated by the modern by then. When he began studying architecture at art school, he was both intrigued and challenged by the practice of drawing.

In this 30-minute video by Dutch Profiles, MVRDV founding partner Winy Maas talks at length about his life, his thoughts on architecture and the world, and the work of the company he has led for almost 30 years alongside Jacob van Rijs and Nathalie de Vries. What was the first thing he designed as a child? What advice does he give to his students to set them up for success? What is the most important quality of an MVRDV project? What is his impression of his adopted city of Rotterdam? From the experiences that first made him want to become an architect at the age of six, to the opening of his most recent project, the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, in November last year, the profile opens a window into the mind of the “M” in “MVRDV”.
