A conversation with Daniel Fügenschuh- ACE President
Why ARCH-E Matters
ADCs play a crucial role in shaping a high-quality built environment across Europe. They provide an accessible pathway for young and small architectural practices to gain recognition, build experience, and compete on merit — no matter their size, location, or market reach.
ARCH-E strengthens this pathway by promoting fair, transparent and cross-border competition opportunities while supporting practices that face barriers in accessing Europe-wide projects.

Il ACE ADC Map, now enhanced with ARCH-E data, serves as a practical guide for architects and experts in the field. It helps users navigate the international Architectural Design Competitions landscape by providing links to procurement platforms, national regulations, architects’ chambers, and other key resources across Europe.
Il ACE ADC Map will keep growing, regularly integrating new information and tools to better support architects in exploring cross-border opportunities.
