Daily Arch, one building at a time
A forthcoming app for discovering one building a day, with short profiles, a searchable archive, and saved collections.
- For
- Readers who want a daily dose of architecture
- Worth noticing
- It says photo availability may lag because it seeks freely usable images with identified photographers.
Field notes
The public page lays out a proposed app workflow: users choose a notification time, then receive a short building profile; an archive is described as filterable by country, city, type, or architect. It says profiles draw on architects’ and institutions’ pages, UNESCO records, awards bodies, Wikipedia, and Wikidata, with sources and photo credits shown under each building. The page also flags photo licensing and attribution as reasons some entries may have fewer images or arrive later. The App Store release is still marked “coming soon.”
