SERVICES

AV is developing ecological, efficient and exciting new buildings and products. Concerned with the Earth’s growing population and its effect on our ecosystem, designs are conceived with the intention to preserve our planet’s limited natural resources, its beauty and ecosystem for generations to come. Design subjects range from furniture, mobile buildings, textile structures and private houses to skyscrapers, urban planning, and aircraft interiors and space habitats.

AV’s activities range from initial research and feasibility studies to detailed development, engineering, modelling, rendering, prototyping and production supervision. Innovation is the essence of AV’s design philosophy: the team’s multi-disciplinary approach and ability to transfer know-how from different fields allows AV to the develop highly innovative products.

VISION

Today, more than ever architecture needs a strong vision. This is the very origin of our company name. We design with an awareness of the past, for the present with a vision for the future to come. We believe, in this way, architecture would not be a formal trend anymore but an answer to the needs of the society, for today through the years to come.

A new understanding of our planet as a fragile ecosystem is developing. Tomorrow, our use of non-renewable resources will be considered as a dark-ages of a gradually evolving human society driven by the vision of understanding and respecting their integration into the principles of nature.
