On November 13, our partner Bertrand Schippan will give a lecture at the conference "Museums and Sustainability. Needs and Opportunities" in Milan, organised by the Display & Design association. In his presentation, Bertrand will examine our design for the GAM Torino as a case study in adapting a museum to contemporary needs while preserving its identity, opening it more directly to the city, and creating greater flexibility for future generations. He will also showcase other cultural projects that MVRDV has designed, such as the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen and Portlantis. 

Bertrand Schippan is an architect and urbanist that joined MVRDV in 2006, following experience at international offices including Ateliers Jean Nouvel and West 8. His work spans architecture and urban planning, with a focus on complex urban transformations in France and beyond. He played a key role in establishing MVRDV's Paris office and has overseen projects including Lyon Part-Dieu and Gaîté Montparnasse in Paris. Alongside his professional practice, Schippan is active in academia, guiding graduate students in architecture and urban planning.
