E2ARC Architecture & Research for Cities vzw is a private non-profit research organization based in Belgium. Its general aim is to create a permanent collaboration between researchers, architects, engineers, landscape architects, and urban planners in the fields of architecture and adaptive reuse, innovative building materials and components, and research related to urban planning, the environment, sustainable urban regeneration, climate change, and Nature-Based Solutions for resilient cities.

Through past and ongoing collaborations, E2ARC has over 25 years of experience in the design, development, and execution of building projects, with a special focus on energy-efficient renovation and conservation. At the district level, several Masterplans were designed with a historical, urban, and architectural analysis.

E2ARC is also partner in several EU-funded research projects related to building sustainability and innovative building materials, cultural heritage and energy retrofitting, and urban planning with Nature-Based Solutions for the cities of the future. This involvement allows E2ARC to explore innovative solutions addressing modern challenges related to buildings and the environment.
