ACXT-IDOM started off as a society of professionals in the field of architecture who came together with the aim of offering top quality solutions. With this purpose it established a professional framework of collaboration and avail of its members’ synergies, always from a holistic understanding of architecture.

Philosophy
ACXT-IDOM is a group of professionals that was created with the idea of offering convincing answers to the usual questions: what is the reasoning and the basis for architecture? Where does the quality principle lie? In what terms is authorship recognized and established? How do we deal with the impact of a global, specialized and multicultural society? How does all this fit in with the quest for beauty? Its members share the need to deal with these questions from a professional model different from that currently on offer: the small scale single man studio or the classic by-products created under the protection of the star system. The shifting of the social, economic and cultural context suggests the need for the reconsideration of the traditional organizational schemes. ACXT-IDOM stimulates – convinced of its potential – a new model based on the synthesis of a double work pattern during the creative process. On the one hand, the individual’s unique suggestions and on the other, the complex and heterodox sum of interdisciplinary team work, an overlapping mixture of creative decisions always open to unforeseen and unexpected contributions of collective work. ACXT-IDOM was conceived from the enthusiasm of those who desire to be architects in the thriving field of a multidisciplinary team. It has the intention of boosting and respecting the capabilities and skills of all team members, acknowledging the professional contributions of each individual. It is a complex balance of shared interests in an attempt to push boundaries, trying to include and recognize the contributions of all.

Services
ACXT-IDOM offers a comprehensive service within the field of architecture, offering solutions to all the different issues that might arise linked to the development of a project and its execution: feasibility studies, investment planning and management, design, site supervision, building engineering, project management, etc.

Team

Engineers are also involved: civil, mechanical, electrical, agricultural...; biologists, experts in acoustics, illumination, telecommunications, costs, building site organization, graphic designers or IT technicians. Due to the problems caused by specialization and the development of technology, we seek solutions that integrate them right from the beginning, in the project conception stage.
