How does MVRDV innovate with ceramics in its designs?

On 24 June at the Ceramics of Italy conference hosted by Heinze, director and architect Sven Thorissen will deliver a keynote talk in which he'll explore how the practice integrates advanced ceramic materials to redefine our buildings and urban projects. Ranging across Valley, MONACO, IPAI, and Parkrand, Sven’s talk will showcase the creative and sustainable potential of ceramics in contemporary architecture, highlighting how these projects balance aesthetics, functionality, and environmental responsibility.

Director and Architect Sven Thorissen currently oversees MVRDV’s DAS Studio, explicitly focused on growing the office’s profile and portfolio in Germany. Thorissen returned to MVRDV in early 2019 after a 12 year-hiatus, a considerable period of which he was working as Concept Developer for Proper Stok and Strategic Advisor Spatial Development, Economy and Sustainability for the municipality of Alphen aan den Rijn. He leverages this broad range of experience with private and public organizations, across architectural design, project development, and sustainability in his studio leadership.
