ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND URBAN PLANNING
We are A. PLAN, a core team of architects, urban planning and conservation specialists. We join up with engineers and consultants for building systems and structural design and the full spectrum of services beyond the delivery of construction.
We don’t settle for less.
We advocate integrative, trans-disciplinary approaches to architectural design and urban planning. We promote excellence in professional practice.

Our planning process.
The Brief
Sometimes we receive the brief. Sometimes it’s just outlines and a general reference. Each time we listen carefully.
The Science of Sketching
The preliminary brief is ready for the first mould. The interdisciplinary team is assembled. Budget and project planning are tackled.The Integrative Concept
Sound and attractive solutions get some technical and economic outlines. General and architectural concept receive client approval.The Definitive Design
The schematics of the definitive design are set out according to the detailed (definitive) brief. The internal briefs for the engineering designs are launched. Primary coordination of the project team.The Building Permit
Considering all pertaining laws and regulations, the project passes all the authorities’ verifications. The final validation materializes in the building permit. The underlying documents are excerpted from the technical design.The Science of Technical Design
The tender-relevant drawings, descriptions, specifications and bills of quantities are deliverable. Project integration and final collision-check.The Science of Detailing
Detailing of the few or plenty of individually required special solutions. No relevant variations from building permit status. Strictly confined within the approved budget.The Art of Tender Management
Tender documents get organized for a quick, easy and responsible bid. Contractors’ qualification with regard to the project is verified. Consistency of the bid is paramount.The Professional Assistance
Milestone confirmation is mandatory. Coordination meetings are required for an adequate quality of the construction. Acceptance of works according to regulations and commissioning of the building (delivery to the client).The Science of Ageing
Verification of normal ageing processes provides early insight into required interventions, beyond regular maintenance. Sub-par evolution needs to be addressed adequately in order to minimize impact and keep solutions simple and effective.PARTICIPATORY PLANNING & URBAN DESIGN LAB
Initiated in Romania by A. PLAN, participatory planning through the UDM methodology is an approach to designing active, livable cities, which makes urban planning accessible, community-driven and fun.
