Summary/Abstract: ARCH-E is a project on architectural design competitions (ADCs) co-funded by the European Union under the Creative Europe framework (CREA). It started in February 2023 and will last for three years. ARCH-e is composed of ten European partner organizations – the Austrian Federal Chamber of Civil Engineers (BKZT), the Architects’ Council of Europe (ACE), the Croatian Chamber of Architects (CCA), the Chamber of Architecture and Spatial Planning of Slovenia (ZAPS), the Association of Architects of Cyprus (CAA), the Federal Chamber of German Architects (BAK), Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), Sepa Engineering GmbH (SEPA), and the Chamber of Hungarian Architects (MÉK) – with the Chamber of Architecture and Spatial Planning among them, and five cooperation partners: the Czech Chamber of Architects (ČKA), the French National Chamber of Architects (CNOA), the Chamber of Architects of the Province of Bozen, the Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects (SIA), and the International Union of Architects (UIA). ARCH-E recognizes the crucial role of ADCs in the creation of a safe, fair, sustainable, inclusive, and beautiful built environment. Its main objective is to promote high-quality architectural solutions for the built environment by increasing the use of ADCs in Europe. To achieve this, it has developed several strategies. ARCH-e intends to enhance cross-border collaboration among various architecture professionals through the use of the ARCH-E platform and network, services, and digital solutions.
