Paulien Bremmer Architecture + Urbanism is an interdisciplinary studio working on all scales of the contemporary urban landscape.

 

Every project is seen as a multidisciplinary process whereby the ongoing relationship between programme and context is being discussed, tested and researched. In the process of design, choices are made to develop a project which opens up ambiguous possibilities and scenario's.

 

Through intensive collaboration with clients, users, advisors and others, a project is conceived as a multiple authorship resulting in a design as a precize construction of choices and ideas. Especially in the contemporary European condition where, both in architecture and planning a shift is made from a focus on the 'new' to the transformation of the 'present', the office claims a modern, innovative and critical position. A stand which is both sensitive to the past as daring towards the future.

Prior to founding her own office she worked from 1996 - 2002 for several offices in the Netherlands including four years as a project architect for Wiel Arets Architect and Associates.
