Architecture — A product now accessible to all

The architecture is a flourishing field in recent years, thanks to the contribution of computer programs and designs. They have completely changed the game and an architect is at the heart of a radical change: these programs such as AutoCAD or Revit allows you to work from 10 to 50 times faster than before.

Nevertheless, architecture remains behind in comparison to other types of businesses. Indeed, it hardly takes advantage of the Internet boom of the past 10 years. The architecture is a luxury that is reserved for the elite. To change this, to make architecture accessible to all we would like to think about the concept of an online Architecture Agency. This seemingly idealistic idea comes to life through the use of the internet.

We wants to give this opportunity for architects to offer their services online, in an easy way and much less expensive.

Internet — A social transition

The Internet is probably one of the greatest inventions of the late 20th century. It is the cornerstone of globalization. The number of fields and professions transformed by the arrival of the Internet has lost count.

In a constant desire to change it continuously follows the path of globalization, we wishes to use this tool, the internet, and create an online architecture portal available for all.

The Internet is the perfect platform for the creation of an intermediation and communications standardization for market and business optimization. This is the best way to reduce distances, optimizing costs and communication. Applied in the field of architecture and any professional fields and categories. In short, to create a kind of a platform or agency which is an online database for grouping: architects, services, information, related blogs, etc. Somehow, a portal, a hub in the field of architecture, and any related professionals.

This is a new concept that goes along with the emergence of the middle class. With the Internet, the goal is to change the traditional manners of how clients finds architects and how contractual relations are traditionally establish, in order to develop, communicate and facilitate the architectural work on all levels, thereby increase competition, availability of professionals and decrease the final costs of their services to the clients.
