Key Economic Indicators for the Architecture Industry

© Practical Projects, Thanh-Phong Lê, Margaux Heylen, and Marianne Poinsot for the Ministry of Culture
The Architecture Economy Observatory, a collaborative body launched in 2021 by the Ministry of Culture that brings together stakeholders in the profession, has published the “Key Figures on the Architecture Economy” for the first time.
The observatory’s work is part of the National Strategy for Architecture 2025–2029, one of whose measures aims to expand knowledge of the architectural economy in all its dimensions.
Key figures on the architecture industry reflect the composition and diversity of this sector. They are the result of a collaborative effort, launched in 2025, led by the observatory in collaboration with its various partners, including the network of national schools of architecture and landscape architecture (ENSA-P).
In total, 27 key figures were selected and grouped into four categories:
- the ecosystem of national schools of architecture and landscape architecture (ENSA-P);
- employment integration;
- architects and other architecture professionals;
- the activities of architectural firms.
