Architecture, design, urban planning: Progetto CMR and contemporary design
It is easy to say architect. Actually, a contemporary architect is a thousand things at once and an international architecture firm must be experienced in many complementary disciplines. Progetto CMR is a multidisciplinary company, founded in Milan in 1994, with offices all over the world, which includes architects, space planners, interior designers, experts in process management, mechanical and electrical engineers, industrial designers, Leed APs and BIM specialists. All this makes Progetto CMR a company with an integrated design approach, putting together architecture, engineering and design.
In this way, people with different skills work on the same project instead of having a single architect working on every aspect. The project becomes a “tailored dress” created to meet the clients’ needs. Before designing, Progetto CMR studies and analyzes the client’s requests to develop precise and accurate projects where nothing is left to chance.
The book InsideOut is a monograph celebrating the 25th anniversary of Progetto CMR through the analysis of the projects that have been carried out over the years. This volume illustrates the design method at the heart of the products, offices, residences, leisure spaces, master plans and urban plans designed by the firm.
