Since the firm’s inception in 1976 Atelier Pro have realized an impressive number of architectural and urban designs in widely divergent localities and at a variety of scales. For them the most important aspect of the design process is the interplay between the brief and the potentials on site. Every commission they receive is tackled exclusively in terms of that task, so that Atelier Pro’s work has no evident overall style or signature. Each design, then, is ’made to measure’ - in every sense. This lavishly illustrated book gives an overview of the firm’s prodigious output. Five authors shed light on different facets of a idealistic take on design, given expression in an unremitting stream of cutting-edge urban design responses and new building types.
