PSA Publishers Ltd., the publisher of the World-Architects platform, announces a change of management as Renato Turri, Charles Ganz and Falk Romano accept, as part of a management buyout, the shares of majority shareholder and company founder Hans Demarmels.
In 1995 Demarmels, along with Andres Sigg and Valentina Herrmann, founded PSA Publishers as the first independent platform for architect profiles. It started with the idea of bringing owners and architects together to make a positive contribution to the built environment. This focus has not changed through the years and should remain so in the future.
Hans Demarmels retains a minority stake, remains on the Board, and serves as a consultant to the company. While PSA Publishers started as the pioneer in the realm of architect profiles, today the platform is an established and reliable source of high-quality information on the architects represented. Across 18 platforms, World-Architects profiles a curated selection of approximately 3,000 in 50 countries – a network of qualified professionals from around the world. Additionally, the platform goes beyond the Profiles with thematic headings such as Projects, Agenda, Jobs, Manufacturers, Buildings of the Week, News and three weekly eMagazines.
