AREP (French: Architecture Recherche Engagement Post-carbone, "Architecture, Research, Engagement, Post-Carbon") is a multidisciplinary consultancy that is wholly owned by SNCF (Stations and Connections division). It was formed in 1997 by Jean-Marie Duthilleul and Étienne Tricaud,[1] architects and engineers. It has 600 staff from around 15 countries, including town planners, architects, engineers, economists, technicians, designers, and project managers. Raphaël Ménard, its president since 2018, has announced his intention to make AREP the laboratory for ecological design through the EMC2B approach.[2]

The main area of work for the company is mobility in the urban environment, both in France and worldwide.[3]

Environmental Vision: The EMC2B Approach

AREP has the ambition to become a reference in sustainable architecture. In January 2021, the company set its mission to "invent a post-carbon future" by providing "concrete, frugal, and resilient solutions inspired by the low-tech approach". AREP's environmental strategy is built around the acronym EMC2B: Energy, Material, Carbon, Climate, and Biodiversity. This framework is used to assess the ecological impact of the agency's various projects.

Organisation

AREP is organised into four subsidiaries: AREP (Project management in France), PARVIS (Project support), AREP Ville (Architectural and town planning studies) and MENIGHETTI Programmation (urban and architectural project management, and service plans).
