In March, we carry on with the IHS public lecture series "Urban Visions". Each lecture will be hosted by an urban professional and/or academic who will share their knowledge and experience on a specific topic.
In this lecture, Fokke will talk about some projects in reference to "What Architecture can do" in the intersection between urban culture, the built environment, sustainability and desired social outcomes. She will present some of the projects of MVRDV.
Disclaimer: Please note that event will take place in person. If you are not a student or a staff member at IHS, please fill in the registration form in the description due to the limited capacity of the venue.
More about the speaker
Partner and Architect Fokke Moerel directs MVRDV’s Studio Public, a unit within the office that focuses primarily on projects that have a dedicated urban impact. She was one of the first architects to join MVRDV in 1998. Her projects include public and cultural buildings, as well as transformations of monumental buildings that endeavour to revive their immediate urban context.
“I am strongly attached to the office’s mission to not exclude anyone or anything. To create human-scale spaces where people feel welcome, comfortable, and challenged to interact and gather. This brings a wide diversity of challenges which can lead to unconventional and innovative possibilities – always inspiring and fun.” - Fokke Moerel
