Jose Manuel Garcia Garcia (Málaga 1990), architect at MVRDV since 2018, has integral experience at all levels of the design process with a special keenness on urban and architectural approaches and their interaction with the natural environment. After his graduation, which focuses on the possibilities and the potential of public space in old cities and working in Málaga for OAM architects who emphasize architecture that favours the well-being of its inhabitants, he moved to Vietnam to join Vo Trong Nghia Architects.
There, he specialized in the design connection between Architectural strategies and Natural environments and how both could coexist to create better quality cities. Joining MVRDV, he has been eager to merge his different knowledge to develop new concepts that help to improve the quality of the urban space in the cities. Projects such as De Oosterlingen (2021), Barapullah Springs (2020), and IJ-Park(2020) express his character and MVRDV values towards design.
