Chi siamo

NEW ENVIRONMENTS is an urban design agency from Amsterdam, active internationally. We use design to improve wellbeing by shaping a dynamic relationship between humans and the environment. Climate change, population growth, and globalisation are compromising the finite resources that the planet provides. New environments need to cater for a growing number of services and navigate the needs of human, floral, and faunal stakeholders. The agency embraces this complexity and promotes a new systemic integrality in the planning profession. We design symbiotic environments, curate transformative processes, and develop realisable futures. Our expertise include long-term visions for territorial transformation, integrated urban-landscape plans and designs, climate strategy and roadmaps, participatory processes led by powerful spatial narratives. With our work we foster a collaborative environment that integrates research, academia, and design practice. NEW ENVIRONMENTS is the winner of three Europan competitions for architects under 40, with projects in The Netherlands, Sweden, and Norway. The agency leads the New Cities group of ISOCARP, International Society of City and Regional Planners. They are Architects in Residence at Arcam, Amsterdam Centre for Architecture for 2025.
