About ArchUp
About ArchUp
Established in 2019, ArchUp began with a mission to bridge the gap in Arabic-language architectural content. Initially focused on delivering quality content for the Arabic-speaking audience, we quickly gained traction and expanded globally. Today, ArchUp stands as a dual-language platform one of the largest of its kind—serving as a premier source of architectural insights in both Arabic and English.
Our Story: A Journey to Global Reach
Our journey started with a simple yet powerful goal: to provide a dedicated space for Arabic architectural content that was both reliable and of high quality. We wanted to serve a growing community of architects, students, and enthusiasts who sought resources in Arabic. However, as our readership grew, so did the demand for English content. Today, we are proud to say that ArchUp has become a vital resource worldwide, appreciated by both Arabic and English-speaking audiences. Our success story is one of organic growth, driven by the support of our readers and our commitment to quality.
