our manifesto
building for everyone
Architecture cannot exist without people.
At assar, we believe in all-inclusive designs that meet the needs of all people, young and old, building for humanity in all its diversity.
We create architecture that is inspirational and evolutive, enabling easy movement and access for every type of user.
co-creating inclusion
Designing places and spaces for each individual’s activities, meeting their aspirations, while respecting the environment and integrating technologies and safety standards. None of this can be achieved without co-creation.
By combining our professional expertise as architects and urban planners with the insights and desires of users, the neighbourhood residents and institutions, a shared vision is co-created: architecture for everyone, that is deeply rooted in the present while looking to the future.
inclusion as an evolving concept
Our lives and work are continually changing as is our relationship with technology, energy, sustainability and the environment.
Inclusive architecture visualises and creates places where people feel comfortable and welcome, now and in the future.
people at the heart of inclusion
As architects, we consider the needs of people at every stage of their life, creating not one but a multitude of models.
By putting people at the heart of each project, the essence of inclusive architecture naturally manifests itself.
It is this approach that assar upholds in every one of its projects, whether in Belgium or abroad, without distinguishing between residential dwellings, offices, business premises, institutions, care homes or hospitals.
construire pour tous
Il n’existe d’architecture que dans son rapport à l’humain.
Pour assar, l’architecture inclusive est celle qui prend en compte les besoins - se déplacer, vivre et travailler - et les diversités de chacun - enfants, adultes et seniors.
Elle est inventive et évolutive dans sa forme. Elle est accessible à tous dans son utilisation.
inclure c'est cocréer
Concevoir les lieux et les espaces pour les activités de chaque individu, répondre à ses aspirations, respecter l’environnement, intégrer les technologies et les normes sécuritaires procèdent d’une cocréation.
En associant nos compétences professionnelles d’architectes et d’urbanistes aux avis et considérations des occupants, riverains et institutions, la cocréation propose une vision : celle d’une architecture profitable à tous, ancrée dans le présent et tournée vers le futur.
inclure c'est évoluer
Nos modes de vie et de travail changent et changeront.
Nos rapports aux technologies, aux énergies, à l'écologie et à l'environnement se modifient et se modifieront.
Une architecture inclusive est celle qui conçoit et dessine les lieux de bien-être et de bien-vivre d’aujourd’hui et de demain.
inclure c’est placer l’humain au cœur de tout projet
Notre démarche d’architecte est guidée par les besoins de chacun aux différentes étapes de sa vie.
Il n'existe pas un modèle, mais une multitude.
En privilégiant l’humain au cœur de tout programme, l’évidence d’une architecture inclusive apparait naturellement.
C’est ce crédo qu’assar affirme dans chaque projet, en Belgique comme à l'étranger, qu’il s’agisse de logements, de bureaux, d’entreprises, d’institutions, de maisons de repos, de crèches ou d’hôpitaux.
bouwen voor iedereen
Architectuur bestaat alleen maar in haar relatie tot de mens.
assar ziet inclusieve architectuur als een architectuur die rekening houdt met de behoeften ‑ mobiliteit, wonen en werken - en met de diversiteit van elkeen - kinderen, volwassenen en senioren.
Een architectuur die in haar vorm inspirerend en evolutief is, en in haar gebruik voor iedereen toegankelijk.
inclusief staat voor cocreëren
Plaatsen en ruimten ontwerpen voor de activiteiten van elk individu, inspelen op zijn aspiraties, het milieu beschermen, het integreren van technologie en veiligheidsnormen. Cocreatie ligt hier aan de basis.
Door onze vakkundigheid van architect en stedenbouwkundige te combineren met de inzichten en standpunten van de gebruikers, buurtbewoners en instellingen, biedt cocreatie een visie: die van een architectuur voor iedereen, verankerd in het heden en gericht op de toekomst.
inclusief staat voor evolueren
Onze manier van leven en werken verandert continu. Zo ook evolueert voortdurend onze relatie tot technologie, tot energie, tot duurzaamheid en tot het milieu.
Een inclusieve architectuur ontwerpt en geeft vorm aan plaatsen van welbevinden, voor vandaag en morgen.
inclusief staat voor de mens centraal stellen in elk project
Als architect laten we ons bij onze benadering leiden door ieders behoeften in de verschillende fasen van zijn leven. Zo ontstaat niet één maar een verscheidenheid aan modellen.
Door in elk project de mens centraal te stellen, blijkt natuurlijkerwijs de essentie van een inclusieve architectuur.
assar bevestigt deze benadering in al zijn projecten, zowel in België als in het buitenland en zonder onderscheid tussen woningen, kantoren, bedrijven, instellingen, rusthuizen of ziekenhuizen.
team spirit
Creating an architecture that can evolve over time requires collaboration and teamwork. Striking the right balance between function and aesthetic with a multi-disciplinary team. Each project is therefore organised around specialised and complementary teams. In which architects, interior architects, urban planners and technicians share their know-how.
To achieve high-quality designs, rationality must go hand in hand with creativity. Since its inception, assar has adopted a collaborative approach based on the premise that every job is essential and each person has a unique talent.
As such, we provide a response to the challenges associated with building a sustainable world in addition to paving the way for truly inclusive architecture.
