In this Studio Visit to the office of MVRDV, Members of Het Nieuwe Instituut are joined by supporters of UNUN (the Ukraine-Netherlands Urban Network) for an evening devoted to the topic of urban regeneration. UNUN is an initiative of the growing Ukranian community of the Netherlands and Dutch organisations and spatial professionals which promotes thinking about the eventual reconstruction of Ukraine.
MVRDV kicks off the Studio Visit with the programme_ Learning from Rotterdam_, about the office's participation in the second reconstruction of the city. MVRDV explains how it celebrated 75 years of reconstruction, tried to make a neighbourhood less car-centric, planned for densification and roof-top transformations, and helped to make Rotterdam a travel destination with Markthal. Finally, there is the story of Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, an attempt to make the museum's art collection more democratic and to link the city's north and south districts.
After the programme there will be a discussion and drinks.
