About us

AUS ARCHITECTS

AUS advocates for sustainable habitats for the well-being of the planet and its inhabitants. We seek a world that combats climate change, minimizes energy demand and waste, and preserves natural heritage. We advocate for an architectural and urban model free of carbon, efficient, culturally rooted, and driving social transformation.

MISSION

The health and well-being of its inhabitants. Therefore, we believe it is necessary to promote better practices within the profession that contribute to this transition, demand legal frameworks consistent with decarbonization goals and financing tools, and raise awareness in society at large. But we will not build this vision of sustainable architecture we need out of nothing, but by influencing the processes that are shaping the future. We will build visions by working on the problems that arise now and at every moment.

Vision

We want a more sustainable world, with development models that contribute to mitigating and adapting to climate change, reducing global energy demand and waste production, and ensuring the proper conservation of natural heritage. We believe in a different vision of the territory, one of recovering its productive potential, both in terms of resources and management and habitability models. Therefore, we believe we must be involved in the major territorial debates that determine the productive model that must contribute to a sustainable society.

OBJECTIVES

  • Develop a model of sustainable architecture and urban planning, independent of carbon and non-renewable energy sources.

  • Promote efficiency in resource use, seeking to minimize environmental impact and maximize responsible use of resources.

  • Value and respect cultural and territorial roots, integrating local identity to preserve historical heritage and strengthen the sense of belonging.

  • Act as an engine of transformation in society, promoting the adoption of practices and policies that foster more sustainable development.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The AUS Board enters its second year with renewals, incorporating new members and consolidating the 2026 Agenda, adopted by COAC and CSCAE, to guide architectural decarbonization.

With a cross-generational vision, the Board combines various professional profiles, betting on sustainability, intergenerational collaboration, and gender equity in its actions.
