The responsibility to building the future

Designing the future

The culture of project's sustainability has enabled us to overcome major challenges and look forward with confidence.

As designers we feel a strong responsibility to contribute to the future of the new generations. This is what drives us in every field: public and private, in schools and health care, in industry, services and infrastructure, both at domestic and international scale.

In 2021 too we have been concentrating our activity on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Global Agenda for Sustainable Development (Agenda 2030).

In particular, this year our organization and projects have been specifically focused on six goals.

Designing facilities to ensure access to essential quality health care services.

Designing facilities that have the functional and architectural characteristics for efficient and inclusive teaching.

Achieve gender equality and empowerment (greater strength, self-esteem and awareness) of all women and girls

Ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy systems for all.

Connecting peoples and communities of people.

Making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe and sustainable.
