Next-future architecture should look like its users rather than its architects.

# Construction

Working on Europan 13 project in Zagreb, with the runner-up awarded project Hey! There's a river beyond, we have developed a new vision of architecture and planning as a participative process.
Up to present days, architects have behaved as if they had superhuman powers. Yet, architecture and planning process have widely changed in the past 30 years, due to digital revolution, economical and founding changes, people attitude.

Nowadays architects have to deal with new conditions, including wide unused built heritage, new technologies, new ways of working and living,the rise of social classes as migrants, young precarious workers and active retired. The way projects are founded is also shifting to more participative process.

We aim to foster all of these conditions by including citizens and users to the very first steps of our projects, in order to carry every physical and social resource available and to propose a more participative and sustainable way we live in our world.
