FAQ – ArchUp Network

ArchUp is a bilingual architectural platform that documents and analyzes architecture, cities, design, and construction. We operate as an open online archive rather than a promotional magazine, with a focus on architectural news, projects, competitions, building materials, and urban topics.

ArchUp is open to anyone interested in the built environment: architects, designers, engineers, students, researchers, and curious readers. Our content spans architecture, interior design, construction, research, and sustainability, so that professionals and non-specialists can follow how buildings and cities are changing.

No. ArchUp is an independent editorial platform. We do not work as a personal PR service for architects, firms, or brands. Our main focus is on documenting projects, analyzing ideas, and contributing to architectural discourse. Any paid or sponsored services are clearly labeled and follow strict separation from our editorial content. For more details, please see our Editorial Guidelines.

All content on ArchUp, whether news, projects, competitions, or research, is subject to editorial review. The editorial team evaluates relevance to architecture and cities, clarity and quality of information, documentation value, and neutrality. Submission does not guarantee publication. Final decisions are made by the editorial board according to the criteria described in the Editorial Guidelines.

If you would like to propose a project, article, or report, please: 1) Review our Editorial Guidelines to understand content types and requirements. 2) Prepare your material in an organized format, including project description, key data, and high-quality images. 3) Use the form on our Contact page to introduce your submission and attach or link to your material. The editorial team will review your proposal and may contact you if it fits the platform.

No. ArchUp is a curated platform. We receive more material than we can publish, and we prioritize content that adds genuine architectural knowledge, is well documented, and fits our current editorial focus. We may decline or postpone publishing without providing detailed feedback in every case, as part of maintaining a coherent and trustworthy archive.

ArchUp organizes content into several main streams, including: • Architectural News – verified updates and headlines • Projects – documented buildings and designs • Competitions and Competition Results • Building Materials and Material Datasheets • Cities and urban topics • Architectural Research • Events and Architectural Jobs Editors follow the classification rules described in the Editorial Guidelines.

To protect reader trust, ArchUp clearly separates: • Editorial content – selected, written, or heavily edited by ArchUp editors, guided by our critical and archival mission. • Submitted projects and guest contributions – material provided by architects, offices, or authors, published only after editorial review and adaptation to our standards. • Sponsored content – paid features or announcements that are always labeled as “Sponsored” or “AD” and follow a separate workflow from our editorial decisions. You can find a detailed explanation in the Editorial Guidelines.

If you notice a factual error, such as a wrong date, project name, location, or technical data, we encourage you to: 1) Leave a clear comment under the article with the correct information and, if possible, a reference. 2) For substantial corrections or official clarifications, use the form on our Contact page and attach any supporting documents or official links. Our editors review correction requests and update the article when appropriate. Not all requests lead to changes, especially if they relate to tone, personal preferences, or promotional wording.

ArchUp does not function as a personal profile or CV service. Names of architects, firms, or team members are mentioned when they are essential to understanding the project or when they are part of the documented record. Requests to add or remove names for purely promotional or personal reasons are handled at the discretion of the editorial team and may be declined if they conflict with our editorial policy. For such requests, please refer first to the Editorial Guidelines and then contact us via the Contact page.

In general: • Text written or heavily edited by ArchUp follows our editorial and privacy policies. • Images, drawings, and project documents remain the property of their original creators or rights holders and are used for documentation and educational purposes. • If you believe a visual or document has been used without appropriate rights, please contact us through the Contact page with details and proof so the editorial team can review the case. For more information, see our Privacy Policy and related legal notices on the site.

ArchUp may use AI tools to assist with research, classification, or drafting support. However, all published content is reviewed and shaped by human editors, who are responsible for the final narrative, critique, and context. AI does not override editorial judgment, and it does not decide what is published. Details about our editorial approach can be found in the Editorial Guidelines.

For general questions, collaboration proposals, or media inquiries, please use the form on our Contact page. For questions related to publication, submissions, or corrections, we recommend reading the Editorial Guidelines first, then submitting your request with clear details and links.
