ASAA

ASAA is a centre for research, pedagogy and production of architecture, based in Paris with satellite offices in Vienna, Jeddah, Mexico City, Medeline (Columbia) and soon in KL city. We pride ourselves in treating every project in relation to the specificity of its site conditions, its cultural and socio-economic context. We do not believe in dogmatic discourse of systems and forms applicable to any and every circumstanced. Every project is unique, a new challenge and a fertile ground for discovery. We do not separate practice from theory, teaching from learning, school from the real world, nor architecture from urbanism, we nurture an eco-system for the production of architecture.

Atelier Seraji was created in 1990 in Paris when Nasrine Seraji won the competition for the Temporary American Centre in Paris, it expanded to ASSA in 2006 appointing Nicolas Fevrier and Roland Oberhofer as its associates directing a team of 15 architects and other consultants. Design at ASSA is a result of dialogue, research and reasoning. We feel that every project is singular and needs to be coherent and fit to its time and situation. Climatic conditions, landscape conditions, technical and economical constraints are material for our architecture and our thinking.

We believe in the capacity of architecture and urbanism, our designs contribute to human being and making a difference.
