1. Introduction
In 2005, the EFAP undertook a European
survey to review and assess the impact of
the Resolution on Architectural Quality
in the Urban and Rural Environments
(2001/C 73/04).
1. Introduction
5 years after the previous survey and 10
years after the Council Resolution, the
EFAP is repeating the survey in order to
measure the progress of the
implementation of the architectural
policies in the European Union.
Moreover, the current survey also tries to
assess the impact of the Council
Conclusions on Architecture: Culture's
Contribution to Sustainable
Development (2008/C 319/05)
2. Methodology
2. Survey
A questionnaire was circulated by email to
governmental departments responsible for
architectural policy within each Member
State.
To optimize the reliability of the
information collected the questionnaire
was only distributed to governmental
departments.

Scope:
- 27 Members States
(33 Administrations)
- 4 Candidates countries
- 2 Reference countries
TOTAL: 37

3.3 Existence of any official publication outlining Government Policy on Architecture?
In a fast analysis it is possible to identify three main types of documents :
a) Legislation (France);
b) Policies (Belgium / Flanders; Denmark; Estonia; Finland; Ireland;
Latvia; Lithuania; Luxembourg; Netherlands; UK / Scotland; UK /
Northern Ireland; Sweden; Croatia; Iceland; Norway);
c) Sectoral official documents (Cyprus, UK / England and UK / Wales)
Types of official publications on architecture policy
Type 1 - Legislation
In the European panorama France was a pioneer country defining a
national Law on architecture in 1977, Loi 77-2 sur l'architecture.
The Law was the basis for the creation of:
• Mission Interministérielle pour la Qualité
des Construtions Publiques (MIQCP);
• Conseils d´Architecture, d´Urbanisme et
de l´Environnement (CAUE).
Type 2 – Policy documents
The policy documents are develop by the Government and generally
approved / adopted by the Parliament and usually include:
• aims and principles to improve architectural quality;
• objectives and means in the different governmental areas;
• actors involved in the implementation process; and in some cases,
• a policy budget.
Type 2 – Policy documents
In 1991, the Netherlands approved the
first national government memorandum
on architectural policy, entitled Space for
Architecture.
Covering 1991-1996, the policy paper
focused on the role of the government
as a contracting party and on improving
the architectural climate.
Type 2 – Policy documents
Since then, every 4/5 years, the Dutch
Parliament approves a new version of the policy:
• The Architecture of Space (1997-2000);
Shaping the Netherlands (2001-2004);
Architecture and Belvedere Policy (2005-
2008);
A Culture of Design (2008-2011)
Type 2 – Policy documents
Chronological development of national architectural policies
Type 3 – Sectoral policy documents
Some countries have enriched policy concerns in specific / sectoral
policy documents. For example, England does not have an national
architectural policy per se, but the publications of CABE and Better
Public Buildings initiative fulfill the same remit.

Official national documents on architecture policy
• A process of Europeanization is occurring, where through bench-
marking each country learn form the other and make possible a more
convergence between the policies;
• The Council Resolution and Conclusions documents are having a
positive impact at European level in encouraging the Member States
to promote architectural quality;
4. Preliminary Conclusions
4. Preliminary Conclusions
• Some questions can be made about the real impact extent of the
Council Resolution and Conclusions in the governmental programmes
and procurement processes;
• Some countries have mentioned the need for more evidence and
research at European level that support the benefits and effectiveness
of national architectural policies.
