Masterplan that creates the world`s first 100% walk-friendly connection between an international airport, nature and urban city functions.
Aviapolis is a large urban district flanking the Helsinki International Airport (Airport City Aviapolis) and a part of the municipality and the City of Vantaa that is a part of the greater Helsinki metropolitan area. The Aviapolis Core area is located next a the railway station and the City’s ambition is for it to become the most dense, mixed and accessible area in Aviapolis. As a starting point the area will be home for 1,000-2,000 inhabitants and 10,000 jobs.
Size: 730000 m² total, Housing 277,000 m², Offices 232,000 m², Aviation school 25,000 m², Hotel 7200 m², Public Building 48,000 m², Mixed use 80,000 m², Commercial 5400 m² and Parking 30,000 m²
Ostende PH –which stands for Spanish ‘Propiedad Horizontal’- is located in Victor Hugo Avenue, the only street which bears the features of an avenue in Ostende.
Placed in the central area of Pinamar County, this multifamily building pretends to become a point of development as it stands in the most populous part of the city. This sector contrasts with other highly consolidated and high quality urban areas –mostly chosen by tourists in high season- which offer well-equipped infrastructure, services and good access to urban facilities.
Ostende mostly attracts tourist investment projects; however, the program proposed permanent residences and retail stores.
MVRDV has begun construction on Downtown One, a 140-metre tall mixed-use skyscraper in Tirana that will become Albania’s tallest building. The most striking element of the 37-storey tower is its relief of cantilevered houses and offices, which form a pixelated ‘map’ of Albania, each representing a town or city, turning this building into an icon in the heart of Tirana, Albania. Completion of the building, which was designed for developer Kastrati Construction, is expected in 2024.
Downtown One is envisioned as an expression celebrating the progress of Albania, located in central Tirana on the Bajram Curri Boulevard, to the south of the Lana River. On its principle façades, the 140-metre rectilinear tower features a series of cantilevered houses and offices, forming a relief pattern on the building’s surface. Every house or office represents a village or town, so that when viewed from a distance, these cantilevers form an abstracted map of Albania.
Timeless architecture is the philosophy of Mecanoo & MAYU’s design for the National Taiwanese Archive: a building that hosts the memory and the collective identity.
The National Archives building is composed of two volumes: one that extends horizontally, forming a large canopy, protecting the ground floor, establishing the relation interior-exterior; the other, a perfect cube, landed on top of the horizontal volume.
Following its clear shape, the building is also organized in two zones: the public and the restrict access areas. The public zone is located in the east part of the site, connected to Wenhuayi road, while the restrict access area is organized on the west part.
MVRDV has won the competition to renovate and extend the historic Palais du Commerce in Rennes. Developed alongside co-architects Bernard Desmoulin for developers Frey and Engie Avenue, the 18,000-square-metre redevelopment of the notable Rennes landmark will signify a renaissance for both the building and its surroundings. MVRDV’s proposal will reactivate the Place de la République and turn this former public building into a centrepiece of the city’s main commercial street, raising it to the level of significance that was initially intended.
Located in the southern part of Rennes’ city centre, the Palais du Commerce was originally constructed in two stages between 1885 and 1929 as a post office, library and arts school by local architects Jean-Baptiste Martenot and Emmanuel Le Ray. Today, the building is poorly integrated into the life of Rennes, with most residents unaware of most of the activities inside. The renovation and extension designed by MVRDV aims to rectify this, activating the building with new uses and a design that communicates these new functions to passers-by.

Located in a low density neighborhood in the south of the city of La Plata, this building is built on the enclosure of 3 plots of 10 meters. x 60 meters, resulting in a lot of generous dimensions (30 meters x 60 meters).
The Urban Planning Code allows, for this area, a maximum building height of 4 levels (12 meters) and a large amount of m2 to build (FOT), but it is very strict in terms of the volumetric limitations of the building.
The objective of the proposal is to design a building that aspires to have the ability to go through time and not become obsolete, adapting to physical conditions and making the most of them in order to present the situation in an innovative way.
The building is configured as a Kouros that guards the access to the city. In the composition of its façade, the building shows the passage of time and as if it were different strata, the heights that have defined the different types of the city are shown.

The Next Generation of Skyscrapers: MVRDV Redefines the Tower with Vanke Headquarters Competition Win in Shenzhen
MVRDV has won the competition organized by Chinese real estate developer Vanke to design their new headquarters building in Shenzhen. The 250-metre-tall Vanke Headquarter Tower – unofficially called Vanke 3D City by MVRDV – is due to start construction in mid-2019, and comprises a cluster of eight interlinked blocks of offices, housing and culture, rising from four separate bases to a single crowning tower. It is an ambitious proposal that heralds the next generation of skyscraper design, following the concept of the “three-dimensional city”—an idea that is the culmination of a series of research projects conducted by MVRDV.

Size and Programme: Total GFA 167,000 m²; above ground 153,000 m² (111,350 m² Office; 20,000 m² Hotel; 10,000 m² Commercial; 7,650 m² Culture; 4,000 m² Restaurant).
We designed this hotel as a succession of plans and sequences condensing the long traveling shot that leads the traveler to Paris. Access to the hotel is from a reception on the roof of the city, a place from which one can apprehend the opposite way, to understand Paris, this open territory which unfolds in a limitless continuum, whose the white horizon is punctuated by magnificent emergences. Our project will be a place characterized, surprising, a destination, a landmark, a connivance, a point of view on the capital.
Fidenza Village – the first Italian luxury shopping outlet – on the occasion of its fifteenth anniversary, revolutionizes the visitors’ experience with a new landscape design project, which creates a renewed relationship between people and outdoor spaces.
