The Dutch office MVRDV is curating the next Baumeister Curated. The planned statement is likely to cause a stir in Germany.
Now it’s out: the Dutch office MVRDV is curating the next Baumeister Curated. Baumeister editor-in-chief Alexander Gutzmer sat down with Winy Maas at the beginning of the week to discuss the special edition of Baumeister, which will be published in July. This much can be said: the statement that MVRDV is planning is likely to be a talking point in Germany.
Once again, an exciting new Baumeister curated by architects is on the horizon: With MVRDV, an office is responsible for the next guest-curated Baumeister that combines a second spirit of experimentation and the courage to think visionarily with a sense of large-scale construction. The day before yesterday, our editor-in-chief Alexander Gutzmer met the head of the office, Winy Maas, for an interview at the MVRDV headquarters in Rotterdam.
The breakthrough for the Rotterdam office came in 2000 with the Dutch pavilion at the World Expo in Hanover. Other well-known buildings include the Mirador residential tower in Madrid and the Market Hall in Rotterdam. The latter has already graced a Baumeister cover. MVRDV is currently targeting the German market, with a branch opening in Berlin in May.
Preparations for the guest-curated magazine are in full swing. We can’t reveal too much about the content concept just yet. We can only say one thing in advance: Winy Maas and his colleagues have the confidence to make a statement in terms of content that is likely to generate a lot of discussion, especially in Germany.
