ArchDaily: The Latest Architecture and News

From Platform to Powerhouse: ArchDaily’s Evolution and Vision for the Future

Dear Readers,

Architecture is going through transformative times, and so are the platforms that shape how we understand it.

Earlier this year, I addressed you directly to share our vision for 2025: a commitment to reaffirm ArchDaily's mission, elevate our editorial voice, and strengthen our role as a trusted, critical resource for architects worldwide. That message marked the beginning of a new chapter, one grounded in relevance, clarity, and purposeful action.

Call for Freelance Architecture Copywriter

ArchDaily is seeking a freelance copywriter with expertise in architecture and a sharp marketing instinct to help us tell our story—clearly, confidently, and creatively. This role offers an exciting opportunity for someone to contribute strategically to our brand's voice and messaging, shaping how we connect with architects and the wider audience. This is not a full-time editorial role with high volume demands but an on-demand collaboration, ideal for someone with strong writing skills who comprehends architecture yet thinks like a brand strategist, storyteller, and marketer.

Announcing the Building of the Year Awards 2023 Trophy

“With the growth of the Internet, images of architecture found a new channel for distribution. Architects in even remote geographies were tapping into a new global circulation of architectural ideas and architectural recognition. Architecture blogs such as ArchDaily started to change patterns of production and consumption of architectural knowledge [...] Crowdsourced awards such as ArchDaily's Building of the Year have changed the global map of rewarded offices and buildings.” – Shawhin Roudbari, in the paper Crowdsourced and Crowd-Pleasing: The New Architectural Awards and the City.

Over the years, the winners of the Building of the Year Awards have received a wooden trophy handcrafted in Chile. But in order to evolve and stay true to the spirit of the award, we have turned to our community to design its next iteration: a 3D printed trophy with a blockchain certificate, that will be sent to the architects and stakeholders of the project.

As we dive into 2023 and start the Year of the Rabbit, we share with you a few thoughts of what the past year brought to us, and how we prepare for this new season.

During the past year we expanded our network as part of DAAily platforms, and with the future of the built environment as our mission, we became more aware on how to bring it to our daily content, considering how most of the challenges we are facing are converging into it. From the housing and energy crisis, to inequality, migration and war, everything is converging into the built environment, and we cannot abstract ourselves from it.

As architecture becomes a wider issue and more people not only become interested, but want to engage with it in an active way, we took the responsibility to open its black box and build bridges through knowledge by answering the challenging question of What is Good Architecture? in our first book, “The ArchDaily Guide to Good Architecture” together with gestalten.
