What the role involves
ArchDaily is recruiting a proactive, curious architect to join its Projects Collaborator Program, a part‑time position that involves curating and coordinating the publication of built projects on the platform. The work takes place in a modest editorial office where the soft click of a keyboard mingles with the faint hum of a ventilation fan, and each new entry is screened for relevance, clarity, and visual impact.
The structural tension at play is between efficiency—publishing dozens of projects each week—and depth—providing the contextual analysis that readers need to see beyond façades. By navigating this tension, the collaborator becomes a conduit, translating the tactile experience of built space into a digital narrative that reaches a global audience.
During a typical day, the architect might pause over a draft description, fingers hovering above the keyboard, then adjust the phrasing to preserve the project's design intent without sacrificing brevity. This moment of hesitation reveals the program's demand for both editorial rigor and design sensitivity.
Why the program matters
The program matters because it shapes how the built environment is documented and understood worldwide, influencing both professional discourse and public perception. In an era where architectural content is increasingly fragmented, a curated platform offers a counter‑weight that reinforces quality and continuity.
How to apply
Applicants should submit a portfolio that demonstrates experience in both design and editorial writing, along with a brief statement of curiosity about how architecture can be communicated through playful media. The deadline for submissions is 30 April, and successful candidates will begin a three‑month trial that blends project coordination with occasional contributions to ArchDaily's toys & hobbies collection—a space where design meets imagination for children and adults alike.
