Biografia
A 01 is a multidisciplinary network organization creating integrally sustainable solutions within the fields of 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 depending on the specific project parameters like budget availability, scale, location, and target population.
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 works as a commercial consulting and planning firm;
the foundation has at the core of its agenda the investigation, documentation and discussion of urbanization processes with
its consequences for the urban and rural condition worldwide.
Our client list includes private enterprises or individuals, public institutions like municipalities or ministries, academic entities such as the Center for Tropical Agriculture Research and Education (CATIE), INCAE business school or the University of Peace, local non-governmental and community based organizations (NGOs and CBOs), as well as bi- and multilateral entities such as the European Union or the United Nations.
