The fact that I can help to shape public spaces with my projects, as streets and squares play a major part in determining the quality of life in our towns and cities. I find it rewarding to succeed in meeting all mobility requirements in this context, and to manage the resulting traffic in a way that is as compatible as possible with the needs of all concerned.

A good team with a wide range of skills – one that functions extremely well together.
