The Architects’ Council of Europe (ACE) has launched a web platform dedicated to the architectural profession. The purpose is to provide a single entry point through which users can search, access and compare a multitude of statistical information regarding European Architects, the architectural market and practices in Europe.

The ACE Observatory is built using filters allowing users to choose to view data for a particular country or look at figures for a particular practice size. The ACE Observatory is designed to complement the ACE Sector study, providing extra depth. It has been designed for use by ACE Member Organisations, individual architects and anyone wanting to research the profession.
