The ArchUp Archive is more than just a timeline—it’s a growing mosaic of ideas, trends, and movements across architecture, design, and construction. Here, you’ll find layered content ranging from editorial publishing and breaking news to reflective pieces on competitions and award-winning projects.
Explore categorized archives by region, typology, or topic—from urban planning and building typologies to material studies and academic insights. This space supports architects, researchers, and editors in accessing context-rich knowledge at every stage of the design process.
Our archive is updated regularly by our curation team and is deeply linked with our vision of building a decentralized, multilingual architectural repository. You can connect with us to submit material or propose collaborations.
