Winy Maas: The New Old

The lecture will be held in English.

The entry is free. There is not a possiblity of reservation. If  you are intersted attending, please arrive early. 

Winy Maas: architect and educator, founder of the international office MVRDV and the important think-tank The Why Factory (TU Delft).

The lecture, entitled The New Old, will be prepared especially for Brno and the Faculty of Architecture VUT. It was born out of an informal collaboration between Winy Maas and the Department of Experimental Design on a project to transform the Centraal Beheer in Apeldoorn (an iconic building by architect Herman Hertzberger).

During the lecture we can also look forward to a personal commentary on the project of the Moravian Jewish Museum Mehrin, designed by the MVRDV office.

Winy Maas's lectures are never simply a presentation of projects, but always have a broader context and are always an important voice in the discussion about architecture, urbanism and the world. One of the most important themes that consistently comes up in these lectures is working with climate change and the responsibilities that this change implies for the work of architects and urban planners.
