At ABT, we embrace the importance of considering buildings in their natural and urban contexts. Buildings are not isolated islands in an urban environment, but interactive elements of a complex system.
Today, with more than half of the world’s population living in cities, there’s a growing need for smarter, healthier and more sustainable urban areas. Environments that are people-centred, responsive and future proof. The traditional monodisciplinary approach is no longer feasible. Instead, at ABT, we apply our experience in holistic and integrated approach to districts and cities, considering a wide range of disciplines.
Design approach
ABT designs buildings in their climatic context, with maximum use of natural forces (sun, wind, water) and minimum use of technology. We establish any possible interaction among different buildings in the urban fabric in terms of energy, data, and material flows. We consider the public spaces in between buildings and we design them for maximum comfort, in order to boost health, social interaction and local economy.
