The design philosophy of Atelier d`Art Urbain is pragmatic. It is essentially one of action and its criteria are based on effectiveness, a system whose coherence has proved strong enough to incorporate every particular paradoxes: efficiency and ideology complement each other there. Working in an intricate and contradictory setting like the Brussels cityscape, Atelier d`Art Urbain has managed to combine deep respect for an illustrious local tradition of modernity with a marked propensity for structural and stylistic experimentation placing its architecture at the cutting-edge of the modern-day European design scene.
