"Arcau工作室的建筑师们对需要设计的项目的背景的元素一直很敏感。如果这种敏感看得见，它可能几乎是这家公司的标志，但它是一种比所有看得见的东西都重要的特质。这种做法不会产生变色龙建筑，每个项目都带有当地特色。

虽然Arcau工作室的建筑风格不是多用途，但也不是那种产生一眼就能识别的风格的强硬路线。它不仅首先且必要地让自身为自己的**功能服务，或者只是屈从于它，而且还提升了自己的价值。

无论地形如何，即使非常普通，我们的问题将始终相同。这个项目将如何在安置在这个位置？它能表达什么？我们应该赋予我们的意图什么意义？居住者和使用者将如何生活在其中？这种新安排的所有方面都考虑到了。建筑，城市规划和景观密不可分，我们认为它们的结合会形成和谐的地方。

"The architects of atelier Arcau are always sensitive to the elements of the contexts where they are called on to work. This could be almost the firm's hallmark, if it were visible, but it is a quality that precedes all visibility. The practice does not produce chameleon architecture, with every project tinged with a local character.

Atelier Arcau's architecture is not versatile, but neither does it rest on a hard line which produces a style identifiable at first glance. It not only sets itself firstly and necessarily in the service of its first function, or simply submits to it, but enhances its value. * Xavier Fraud - You can't get away from the contextual reading.

On whatever terrain it may be, even if it's really ordinary, our questions will always be the same. How will the project be installed on the site? What will it be able to say? What sense should we give to our intentions? How will the residents and users live in it? All the dimensions of this new arrangement are concerned. Architecture, city planning and landscape are inseparable, and we believe that their combination lead to harmonious places.

* Julien Veyron - In the ongoing relationship between things urban and architecture, each way of thinking informs the other. What interests us is getting to know the site and who we're dealing with... The studio approach is first of all anthropological.

The logic of projects does not have to do with the form of projects. It has to do with the urbanness you have to reckon with, and the urbanness that we want to develop. Concept is virtual, process is pragmatic.

* Xavier Fraud - We've never confined ourselves within a response mode or plan. Does the Arcau studio have a style? I don't think so. It doesn't concern me.

The architectural expression which has to come out of it can't be predetermined, so as to preserve always more desire and more freedom.
