VILLA VPRO DIGITAL MODELLING OF MVRV’S VILLA VPRO Villa VPRO, was designed by MVDRV for Dutch broadcasting company VPRO. As the new Head Office for the company, the design of Villa VPRO aimed to retain the informal atmosphere of their former office (a set of villas, where staff often found themselves working in lounges and attics). As importance of communication and use of computers became more prominent, spaces for team offices and meeting rooms also grew in demand. The company needed a set of close knit office spaces, to maximize the efficiency of their teamwork, but also shared spaces for leisure and relaxation. This project involved 3D modelling and producing orthogonal drawings using Rhinoceros, based on existing technical drawings. External and internal views were rendered using Vray, and post processed using Photoshop and Illustrator

INTERVENTION
AN UNDULATING ADDITION
The aim of this project was to create a parametric intervention for Project 1, adding to the fabric of the building using Grasshopper in Rhinoceros. The grasshopper installation involves both the exterior and interior of the building. Exploring the manipulation of geometries, an alternating pattern of forms was applied to an undulating surface - extending the undulating floorplates inside. The intervention serves as an ornamental addition to the existing Villa VPRO. A timber material was selected to provide constrast against the dominant cold concrete.
