Integrating Nature Into Architecture: Mingzhu Nerval’s Insights from MVRDV Rotterdam

2022-11-02

We’ve just returned from an inspiring visit to MVRDV’s headquarters in Rotterdam, where we were invited to speak on the theme of “Integrating Nature Into Built Structures.”

This exchange offered a rich opportunity to dive deeper into the sustainability of green installations, the evolving role of biophilic design in cities, and practical case studies of urban green infrastructure.

At Mingzhu Nerval, our expertise in integrating nature into architecture aligns with leading global trends. From luxury vertical gardens to large-scale botanical artistry, our work demonstrates how nature and design can co-exist to elevate both experience and function.

“As pioneers in biophilic design, we shared our expertise in creating luxury vertical gardens that seamlessly integrate into modern architectural green spaces, ensuring long-term sustainability in urban developments.”

This dialogue with MVRDV marks the beginning of a promising collaboration and reinforces our commitment to architectural landscapes that are both visionary and ecological.

Peruri 88 in Jakarta

The Peruri 88 skyscraper is one of our favorite MVRDV projects. With its multi-level gardens of different shapes, this building creates an invitation to explore and lose oneself. Usually building are designed with a very pragmatic, efficient and logical use -which is understandable-, but sometimes it is great to have buildings that are like mazes, opening to the imagination where one can discover new perspectives at every turn.
