This is your public profile, to edit it click here or view your hidden cabinet to modify or upload designs.About Oliver Schütte : I was educated as an architect, which is a profession that naturally interacts with a lot of other professionals who are related to the process of planning and building. Through personal drive and external influences, I started to look way beyond that group of people to think about development in a broader and global sense. I was lucky to work with a series of masters and colleagues whom I admire and who encouraged me in pursuing that path. My own office now focuses on breaking those boundaries of single professions or perspectives in order to co-create through our interdisciplinary work methodology. We design for development with participatory and multi-stakeholder approaches, which has led us to a very interesting variety of topics and scales that we deal with on a daily basis. The results are often surprising and reaffirming in the sense of finding meaning and added value by working together.
STATEMENT OF ART:We are not alone in this world and our actions should thus contribute to a common sense of well-being. In order to do so, I co-founded A-01 as a multidisciplinary network organization with which we can apply and permanently improve a shared philosophy about the combined needs and potentials of design and development. We link different entities for the co-creation of integrally sustainable solutions in urban and rural areas. Our work methodology is designed to break the boundaries of a single profession or perspective in order to allow for a holistic approach that shapes our products. We envision a long-term impact that involves economic growth, a high quality spatial surrounding, a responsible use of natural resources and an equal social development. This complex set of factors that we simply refer to as “the 4 E’s” -Economy, Engineering, Environment, and Equity- is researched and brought into an optimized relationship. A topical focus is set according to the specific project requirements.
