Senior Associate, MVRDV
Stavros Gargaretas is an architect and Senior Associate at MVRDV, as well as a researcher at The Why Factory (T?F), a global think tank led by Winy Maas. Since joining MVRDV in 2015, he has been leading projects of various scales in different cultural contexts – from competitions for new philharmonics and high-density housing projects in India, to mixed-use masterplans in Thailand.
More recently his focus has shifted to Albania and the Middle East where he leads MVRDV projects in multiple phases. With the Why Factory, at TU Delft and CTU Prague, Stavros focuses on education and research, analysing and envisioning scenarios for future cities. “MVRDV is continuously researching how we can live together densely, but in a more attractive, collaborative, healthy, green, surprising way. This is what drives me.”
