Network for Architecture Exchange NAX

Our Goals and Methods

German architects of all disciplines, engineers and specialized planners are internationally appreciated for their high quality in planning and expertise in integrated construction.

The Network for Architecture Exchange NAXNAX Netzwerk Architekturexport is an initiative of the Federal Chamber of German Architects that has been supporting German planners on their way abroad since 2002 and promotes the brand ‘Architecture made in Germany’ worldwide.

NAX relies in this endeavour on the personal commitment of its members, who advocate for Architecture from Germany in the media as well as with politicians and entrepreneurs.

… connects export-driven architects with their national and international colleagues, builders and investors. Export-experienced planners can register in the CONTACT ARCHITECT DATABASE and get in touch with the network.

… advocates for planning quality from Germany abroad. At our diverse range of EVENTS we present the expertise of German architects of all disciplines, engineers and specialized planners in front of politicians and entrepreneurs.


We can only achieve our goal of strengthening the brand “Architecture made in Germany” together. Even though German architects and engineers are competitors, they need to come together in order to be able to compete internationally. That’s why currently 60 export-experienced architecural and engineering offices make up the CIRCLE OF NAX MEMBERS. Together with our PARTNERS they represent NAX.
