The ADCV is aware of the responsibility of design to create a positive impact. Our objective is to generate social and economic wealth. And we do so in an innovative manner, using design to address problems by putting people first, and likewise at the finishing line. Connecting visions and cultures. Creating bridges between technology and humanity. Stemming environmental degradation by being the motor of circular economy. Creating liveable, friendly and coherent environments. And offering strategic vision to turn problems into opportunities.
