Perspekt Competitors

Founded by Elma van Boxel and Kristian Koreman, ZUS is an interdisciplinary design bureau for city, landscape, architecture , based in Rotterdam. Their unsolicited advice and activist attitude saw them win the Maaskant Prize for Young Architects and receive a nomination for Architect of the Year. They are Visiting Professors at Syracuse University School of Architecture, lead the 'Gentrification Lab NYC' and recently published their new book, City of Permanent Temporality.

We’ve always thrived on thinking differently — because that’s where true progress lies. We look beyond architecture. We explore limitless ideas. We discover unseen potential. We are UNS, we see what others miss. The best ideas are born from collaboration. With seven offices spanning four continents, our dedicated teams are not afraid to challenge themselves, our clients and our collaborators to go beyond the predictable. In this quest, we uncover hidden opportunities to transform the built environment all around the world. Our studio is fueled by a passion to question and provoke. Our melting pot of expertises leads to interwoven design and consultancy solutions that deliver beyond the brief. Join us on a journey where perspective is everything and where the usual angles are just the starting point.

Unique, dynamic and international, the Architectural Association School of Architecture was originally set up in 1847 as a public forum and learned society, in/famously founded by 'a pack of troublesome students'. The AA is much more than the UK's oldest school of architecture; the school is the nexus of a global conglomeration of contemporary architectural culture, as well as its pasts. The AA’s incarnations include: a professional association; a vibrant membership organisation comprising more than 4500 members; a registered charity; AA Publications, publisher of books and journals; AA Bookshop, one of London’s leading architectural booksellers; and a high-profile public events programme, including a wealth of exhibitions, lectures, symposia, seminars, conversations, research clusters and visits. All this takes place at the AA’s newly consolidated campus home on its historic site in Bedford Square in Bloomsbury, central London and its site in Dorset for the development of rural architectures and sustainable technologies.
