A 01 is a multidisciplinary and multicultural partnership creating integrally sustainable solutions within the fields of urban and rural development.
We intend to break the boundaries of a single profession or perspective in order to allow for a holistic approach that shapes our products. We envision a long-term impact involving economic growth, an equal social development, a responsible use of natural resources and a high quality spatial surrounding. Our work methodology aims at an optimized combination of this complex set of factors that we simply refer to as “the 4 E’s” -Economy, Equity, Environment and Engineering- with different levels of intensity and emphasis according to a specific project task, population, scale and location.
Our client list includes private enterprises, public institutions, bi- and multilateral donors, academic entities, local non-governmental or community based organizations (NGOs or CBOs) and individuals. Each assignment is carried out with a custom fit team of experts and entities; introducing A Company and its non-profit counterpart A Foundation as operational vehicles. The company is working as a commercial consulting and planning firm; the foundation has at the core of its agenda the investigation, documentation and discussion of urbanization processes and its consequences for the urban and rural condition worldwide.
