About this Event

ARQUIN-FAD convida l’arquitecte Jacob van Rijs, president del jurat dels Premis FAD Internacionals 2026, a presentar la seva obra i compartir la seva visió de l’arquitectura.

Els Premis FAD Internacionals són uns guardons que reconeixen obres d’arquitectura realitzades arreu del món per professionals d’Espanya i Portugal, i formen part dels Premis FAD d'Arquitectura i Interiorisme. En el marc d’aquests premis, Jacob van Rijs parlarà dels seus projectes més destacats, del seu procés creatiu i de la seva manera d’entendre i practicar l’arquitectura.

Jacob van Rijs (Amsterdam, 1964) és arquitecte i urbanista, i un dels fundadors de l’estudi MVRDV, creat el 1993 juntament amb Winy Maas i Nathalie de Vries. Els seus primers projectes destacats —com la seu de la VPRO i les vivendes WoZoCo per a gent gran a Amsterdam— van donar a l’estudi un reconeixement internacional. Durant dues dècades, MVRDV ha desenvolupat projectes d’arquitectura i urbanisme, plans mestres i investigacions, incloent-hi eines de disseny com el programari Function and Region Mixer.
