Meet the international speakers at SHARE Belgrade 2019
Sven THORISSEN | MVRDV – NETHERLANDS
MVRDV is one of the most intriguing architectural practices globally: projects covering all imaginable scales, collaborating with the world’s brightest people, always pushing boundaries and exploring new possibilities. This year at SHARE Belgrade 2019, architect Sven THORISSEN will introduce us into some of MVRDV’s most breathtaking projects, including:
- KoolKiel, a 65,000-square-metre mixed-use complex that will redevelop a post-industrial site in Kiel, Germany. It includes a hotel, offices, residences, a commercial space, and an event space. KoolKiel makes use of a flexible design system rather than a fixed and unchangeable plan, allowing the design to adapt easily to the needs and desires of the community as the design development progresses.
- Unterföhring Park Village, a modern office complex with mixed public and private spaces. Every building of the complex has its own address and identity, varying in volume and facade material. The ‘car free’ plaza functions as a meeting point, open to the public for nineteen different buildings. The ‘Village’ fills a central void in the commercial area of Unterföhring Park becoming the new centre.
- The Markthall project, a sustainable combination of food, leisure, living, and parking space; a hybrid building in which all functions are fully integrated to enhance their synergistic possibilities.
Jeroen SCHIPPER | Orange Architects – NETHERLANDS
Founded in 2010, multidisciplinary design firm Orange Architects operates internationally in the fields of architecture, interior design and urban planning, developing appealing, conceptually sophisticated responses to complex spatial challenges. “Our rational approach is tempered by our sensitivity to local character, the setting and the users. Jeroen Schipper, partner at Orange Architects” will introduce some of the firm’s most successful projects, including:
- “The Cube”, an award-winning project located in Beirut. The residential design concept was simple, yet extraordinarily effective. It displays volumes on each floor to offer residents unique outdoor areas and panoramic views of the capital of Lebanon. The design stacks 14 rotated floor plans on top of a lobby, generating 21 apartments with fluid spaces, large balconies, and wall-to-wall window frames. The structure is unique for utilising self-consolidating concrete, allowing loads to be directed to four areas of rotated girders on every floor, with no additional structural slabs added to the façades.
Radomir SERAFIMOV | Atelier Serafimov Architects – BULGARIA

At SHARE Belgrade 2019, Radomir Serafimov, Founder & CEO Atelier Serafimov Architects, will introduce us to:
- Polygraphia Office Center, a landmark historical building converted into a modern business complex standing out as a leading office project in downtown Sofia.

Krzysztof INGARDEN | INGARDEN & EWY ARCHITEKCI – POLAND
Architecture is most intriguing when it is open towards technology and achievements in art & science without neglecting local building traditions and when it creates a space that is both accepted by local communities, as well as understood by an individual human being.

Giusseppe FARRIS | Farris Studio – ITALY
Founded in 2008, Italian architecture office Studio Farris abides by one goal: to discover the intrinsic potential in every project, questioning the obvious, exploring the surroundings and cultural heritage. As a Guest Speaker, the founder, architect Giusseppe Farris will introduce:
- “Park Tower” in Antwerp, Belgium. A project developed in collaboration with ELD Studio. As a milestone of the city, it plays an important role in reshaping its skyline. With a total height of 78 meters, Park Tower is now one of the highest buildings in Antwerp and therefore plays an important role in reshaping its skyline. The strikingly bright white exterior turns the tower into an attention-grabbing beacon that stands out as a landmark for the entire district. Located along one of Antwerp’s most important roads, the tower acts as a gateway when entering the city.
