MVRDV : "specialize in eye-catching, unconventional projects designed to maximize density in a given space without leaving the inhabitant feeling cramped"

NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW ABOUT ONE OF MVRDV'S FOUNDERS WINY MAAS:

"With his messy, teen-idol hair and untucked shirt, Maas strolled the stage extolling the MVRDV credo — maximize urban density, construct artificial natures, let data-crunching computers do the design work — while various mind-bending simulations played across the screen: skyscrapers that tilted and “kissed” on the 30th floor; highways that ran through lobbies and converted into “urban beaches”; all the housing, retail and industry for a theoretical city of one million inhabitants digitally compressed into the space of a three-mile-high cube."
