The Urban Architect Service, in cooperation with industry experts and partners, shall provide advice on site planning and design issues, including:
1) regarding the regulatory framework for the architecture sector;
2) regarding the practice of architectural competitions;
3) regarding the impact of climate change on multi-apartment buildings;
4) regarding the renovation of complex apartment buildings;
5) regarding the participation of the public in the building of a living room;
6) regarding the building structure in the suburbs and the Old Town.
The aim of the service is to enrich, restore and develop the quality of the urban environment as a result of the construction process, and to promote the principle of architectural quality in the implementation of projects. This means that when planning and designing the work, the commissioning party and the designer must take into account the intended construction programmes, the environmental context and the interests of the affected groups of society, balancing the design's functional, spatial, ecological, aesthetic, social, cultural and historical, technological and economic aspects, which are often not an easy task.
