What ORG Permanent Modernity does

ORG Permanent Modernity (legal name: ORG; DBA: ORG) is a privately held, multidisciplinary infrastructure practice founded in 2007 that delivers planning, design, and strategy services for complex spatial challenges. The firm operates from three offices — Brussels (headquarters) and Antwerp in Belgium, and New York in the United States — and was founded in the US while being rooted in Belgium, with stated worldwide operational reach. Its practitioner base of approximately 60 people spans seven disciplines: architecture, urban design, landscape planning, strategy management, ecosystem building, and computational modeling.

The firm's primary offering is anchored in its proprietary "Living Infrastructure Methodology," which integrates design, data, and diplomacy to translate complex spatial challenges into adaptive infrastructure projects delivered across building, city, and regional scales. Reference projects include North C Neutral (maritime), The Capping of the Ring and Broeklin (urban regeneration), The Abattoir Foodmet (urban and food-systems infrastructure), and Connecting the IJ (crossing infrastructure). Computational modeling is offered as a discrete service module alongside the core multidisciplinary design and planning engagement.

ORG sells exclusively to government and municipal clients through enterprise field sales and direct engagement on infrastructure tenders, with project-based custom pricing and multi-year contract cadences. The pricing model is bespoke to scope, scale, and complexity, with no publicly disclosed rate cards. Marketing and demand generation run through a project-portfolio website (weareorg.com) and organic social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook). The firm holds no disclosed patents, certifications, external investors, parent entities, or funding rounds in the source data.

Core offering

ORG Permanent Modernity is a multidisciplinary infrastructure design and planning practice that delivers professional services for complex spatial challenges. The firm combines architecture, urban design, landscape planning, strategic management, ecosystem building, and computational modeling to transform fragmented urban environments, aging infrastructure, brownfields, and connectivity gaps into adaptive, future-ready living infrastructure for government and municipal clients across building, city, and regional scales.

Product overview

ORG Permanent Modernity is a multidisciplinary infrastructure practice that operates as a single unified offering combining architecture, urban design, landscape planning, strategic management, ecosystem building, and computational modeling services. The company delivers living infrastructure projects across multiple domains including maritime infrastructure (North C Neutral), urban regeneration (Broeklin, The Capping of the Ring), food systems infrastructure (The Abattoir Foodmet), and bridge/crossing infrastructure (Connecting the IJ). Founded in 2007 with offices in Brussels, Antwerp, and New York, ORG transforms complex spatial challenges into future-ready infrastructure designed to adapt to evolving environments.

Direct peers

• OMA: Rotterdam-headquartered architecture and urban design firm operating at building-to-region scales and running a parallel research arm (AMO) that fuses architecture with data and policy — directly comparable to ORG's design + data + diplomacy methodology and public-sector urban briefs.
• MVRDV: Dutch architecture and urban design practice that runs a dedicated data/research arm (MVRDV NEXT) producing computational models on urban briefs — a near-direct analogue to ORG's combination of architecture, computational modeling, and large-scale municipal project work.
• BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group): Multidisciplinary architecture, landscape, and urbanism practice of comparable size with built works at building, city, and regional scale, frequently winning municipal and adaptive-infrastructure commissions — directly comparable in scale, scope and methodology orientation to ORG.
• UNStudio: Amsterdam-based architecture and urban design firm with a dedicated research/tech arm (UNSense) that pursues computational and data-driven infrastructure briefs — closely overlapping ORG's integration of design, data analytics, and complex urban commissions.
• Snøhetta: Transdisciplinary design practice spanning architecture, landscape, and strategic infrastructure at city-to-region scale, with a strong public-sector project book — a strong functional analogue to ORG's multidisciplinary 'living infrastructure' pitch to governments.
• West 8: Rotterdam-based urban design and landscape architecture practice focused on city-scale regeneration, public-realm, and waterfront briefs — directly comparable to several projects in ORG's portfolio including brownfield regeneration and urban connectivity.

Broad incumbents

• Arup: Global engineering, design, and infrastructure consultancy active on the same adaptive urban-infrastructure and city-brief space but with vastly deeper headcount and the ability to deliver at mega-project scale — a larger incumbent competing for the same government clients.
• WSP: Global professional-services firm with a large advisory and urban-planning practice serving municipal and transportation clients — competes with ORG on city-scale and infrastructure briefs but at a much broader portfolio scale and headcount.
• AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting firm with large-scale urban planning, landscape, and design capabilities; competes for the same government and municipal infrastructure RFPs as ORG, but with significantly deeper delivery capacity.

Emerging players

• McGregor Coxall: Sydney-based landscape architecture and urban-design practice focused on climate-adaptive, waterfront, and large public-realm briefs — overlaps meaningfully with ORG's living-infrastructure and adaptive urban design positioning while anchoring a different geography.
