In 2005, we founded A-01 as a multicultural and interdisciplinary network organization to link entities for the co-creation of integrally sustainable solutions in urban and rural development. Our work methodology is designed 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 that involves economic growth, a high quality spatial surrounding, a responsible use of natural resources and an equal social development. This complex set of factors that we simply refer to as “the 4 E’s” -Economy, Engineering, Environment, and Equity- is researched and brought into an optimized relationship. A topical focus is set according to the project-specific requirements. Our office philosophy results in a broad range of topics to work on, including sustainable construction and mobility, responsible resource management and life cycles, healthy food and agricultural production, as well as human rights and transparency. Each assignment is carried out with a custom-fit team of experts, introducing A Company and its non-profit counterpart A Foundation as operational vehicles. While the company is dedicated to local consulting and planning services, the foundation analyzes and communicates the global transformative processes with respect to the urban and rural condition worldwide.
