access to the world
of art and architecture

Every trip is preceded by an intensive scouting journey. The team selects projects, meets designers, artists, owners, authors, teachers and experts, and carefully builds the program. That approach is always aimed at penetrating as far as possible, where the host culture allows, to places that are normally not or only rarely open, such as schools, homes and studios. Public places with limited ticket sales are also brought within reach.

Travel curators, all with an architectural education as their foundation, guide every trip. This provides calm, structure and substantive context, without academic detachment. On virtually every trip, a freelance expert assists the travel curator with specific knowledge about that destination and theme. In addition, planopli also engages local experts where needed, who bring local sensitivities and current insights, with room for exchange and dialogue.

Planopli very deliberately travels with small groups of a maximum of thirty people. This not only makes the exclusive visits possible, but also genuine conversations: on the road, at the table, between visits. Travelers with a shared interest or background truly meet each other in this way, exchange experiences and insights, and build bonds that transcend the trip. In this way, each trip grows into a moment of encounter, with local people and among the travelers themselves.
