At CORPUS, architects and urban planners believe that the very idea of the act of building goes beyond the temporal framework and intervention of the sole object of the work. By virtue of its lifespan and its location in a shared territory, architecture and urban planning take on a broader meaning than the simple framework of a commission. The object designed or built carries with it the aspirations and vision of today's society for its future.
At CORPUS, our architects and urban planners aim to clarify and raise awareness of these issues through each project, and to make the lines that drive our work explicit. This means that every project they tackle focuses on the long term and on a broader scale. Starting with an in-depth assessment of the current situation, it is broken down into meaningful themes for reflection, such as quality of use over an extended timescale, environmental needs and urban integration. In this way, each project develops its own specific challenges, to which the office strives to find an appropriate response, an opportunity to explore, to push back the boundaries, to build meaning and to make an active contribution to the architectural dialogue of Greater Geneva.
