These are the concepts for Exp_2 that my group and I decided on. The clients are Nathalie de Vries, from the firm MVRDV who focus on designing buildings which embody the idea of public life and social interaction in a living space, as well as Mies Van der Rohe who, (needing no introduction) exhibited a keen interest in the functionality and practicality of Architectural design.
Nathalie de Vries (MVRDV)
• Spatial innovation with a strong focus on social and environmental integration.
• (Dieran Park Theatre) Bridge the gap between the surreal experience of foreign animals… and the urban situation.
• (Comic Museum) Forms meet creating openings and exciting collisions of light and sound.
• (Market Hall) Fully integrated to celebrate and enhance the synergetic possibilities of different functions.
• (Mirador) A counterpoint against massive uniformity and monumentalising public life and space.

Mies Van der Rohe
• Emphasising open space and revealing industrial materials.
• "We do not build for fun. We build for purpose." - Mies Van der Rohe, (LIFE magazine)
• To rationalise architecture, a back-to-basics approach of addressing the fundamentals of architectural function.
• Keep the building as a backdrop to the public space and highlight social culture.
• Creating a modular (office) space to promote efficiency.
