SUD Architectes is created in 1986 in Lyon by 7 partners, with now a group of 200 people with 20 partners, which bringing together architects, town planners and interior designers based in Paris, Lyon, Warsaw, Beirut and Shanghai. Organised by centre of expertise, SUD covers every aspect of the contemporary town from town planning, housing, hotels, tertiary, industry, health, retail, mobility to mixed-use...SUD is a frame of mind. We approach our work with high standards, creativity and a certain taste for challenge. In the era of virtual reality and the digitisation of architecture in favour of the image, SUD anchors its reasoning to a concrete practice, thought out over the long-term. We are not talking about products but about “theatres of living”, where the various scenarios of the evolution of usage are played out. The diversity of architectural responses, still contextual, provided by SUD’s 20 associates share five key values: Understand the complexity of a world in [movement]; Faced with constraints, play with [agility]; Led by our convictions, affirm our [commitment]; Guided by [empathy], understand other people and Through a network of agencies, export the [FrenchTouch] internationally.
