The company AATC and Co Ltd. works closely with architectural, construction, and design firms because of its ability to provide selected and processed materials for small or large projects, both public and private.

ARCHETYPE is conceived as a symbol of a new perspective for the design of complex structures that AATC and the VGA studio share: a vision of architectural design where technology and digital innovation meet in a sustainable process, effectively combining prefabrication and customization, industrial production processes and craftsmanship.
The name ARCHETYPE refers to the modular nature of the installation but also plays with the meaning of archetype as primordial image.
The structure designed by VGA Architects is conceived as an object for the public to touch and walk through, interacting with it freely in a playful and sensory exchange.
The installation makes visible AATC’s executive, logistical, and implementation capacity, which, thanks to a deep understanding of the machinery’s production capabilities and careful predictive analysis, has been able to produce and assemble in a short time a custom project that in the past would have taken years to complete.
