Architect's Concepts

Mies Van Der Rohe

  • Limiting excess and clutter to emphasize open space
  • Planar elements for harmonization with existing landscape
  • Minimal skin and bones framework to reveal the individual character
  • Unification achieved without ornamentation through the character of enclosed space
  • Reducing distractions to emphasize the beauty in essential elements of our lives


Nathalie de Vries (of MVRDV)

  • Reuse of materials for Sustainability
  • Challenging existing thinking through optimizing design solutions
  • Focus on urban landscape and the public realm
  • Radical investigative spatial research
  • Multicultural habitat for a rich social life
  • Turn urbanism into landscape architecture
