ABOUT

Act as a link between designers and manufacturers / distributors / suppliers

MAAU_brique.png

MAAU was born from a conviction: the understanding of materials and their access  is one of the fundamentals of architectural design.  MAAU is indeed convinced that the CHOICE OF THE RIGHT MATERIALS and knowledge of the possibilities are crucial to the emergence and accuracy of a project.  

MATCH IDEA AND REALITY ,  this is the vocation of MAAU.

MAAU wants to help you answer the question "how?".
 

MAAU is part of the research process of the act of building;it positions itself as a link between designers and manufacturers / distributors / suppliers, a partner at the service of the project.

MAAU is constantly on the lookout for the LATEST INNOVATIONS and know-how in the world of construction at French and European trade fairs.

NEUTRALITY ,  INDEPENDENCE and INTEGRITY are its watchwords: MAAU has no commercial interests in transactions with manufacturers and distributors.

MAAU is concerned about the ENVIRONMENT and the HEALTH of workers and occupants: with materials from RESPONSIBLE SECTORS , biosourced, recyclable... it's even better!

From site project manager to "researcher" of materials and solutions

MAAU_brique.png

MAAU was born out of more than 10 years of reflection.

At its origin, STUDIES OF ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN PLANNING , an aversion for the fake and a questioning of the image.

From these reflections emerge three themes for dissertations :  

A pronounced taste for writing, transmission, organization,   operating methods, RESEARCH that has been affirmed over the years in the agency. An abiding admiration for the work of Ticino architects. 

A constant leitmotiv: the creation of permanent bridges between disciplines and scales of the territory to design the most coherent projects possible.A multi-faceted exercise, which allows us to "THINK THE DOING".

Then a construction site , which refines a vision of the IMPLEMENTATION OF DETAILS  , a SENSITIVITY TO THE CONSTRUCTION .

The discovery of a challenge: that of transforming a conceptual idea into a reality built in a temporality that is part of a power struggle. Satisfaction when initial perspective and reality intertwine.
