Editorial practices
Last updated 15 August 2025.
At Arquidyne Haus, we are committed to upholding the highest editorial standards in architectural journalism. Our approach is guided by a dedication to integrity, transparency, and respect for our readers, contributors, and the broader architecture community. The following outlines our core editorial practices, ensuring our content remains credible, accurate, and original.
General Standards and Practices
We believe trust is the foundation of our reputation. Our editorial team is expected to adhere to rigorous standards across all aspects of the publishing process.
All content gathering for Arquidyne Haus is conducted in full compliance with applicable Australian Law and international copyright regulations. Our team respects property rights, individual privacy, and intellectual property, ensuring that all activities related to information collection are lawful and transparent. We do not condone or tolerate any activity that could be construed as trespass or otherwise unlawful conduct in the pursuit of architectural stories or imagery.
Originality and proper credit are core values. Every article, project review, and visual element must originate from our team, freelance contributors, or be shared with explicit permission. When referencing external sources, we provide clear and accurate attribution. Direct quotations or data from other publications are always credited and, where appropriate, clearly marked as quotations. Plagiarism in any form—textual, visual, or conceptual—is strictly prohibited.
Architectural reporting must be based on verifiable information. Our editors and contributors diligently check facts, data points, and project details before publication. Where uncertainty exists regarding a claim or technical specification, we consult with reliable sources, industry professionals, or the relevant parties to ensure accuracy. Contributions undergo reviews by subject-matter editors prior to online publication.
We acknowledge that mistakes can occur. When factual inaccuracies or misleading statements are discovered, we promptly publish corrections, clarifications, or retractions where necessary. Corrections are issued following an internal review involving senior editors, and readers are informed transparently of substantive changes. We aim to rectify errors as quickly as possible while maintaining careful editorial oversight.
Sourcing Material for Publication
The diversity and depth of perspectives in Arquidyne Haus come from a blend of in-house effort and engaged community participation.
Our core editorial team is comprised of experienced writers, researchers, and industry practitioners. We also welcome knowledgeable volunteer contributors from the architectural community to enrich our platform with fresh insights, technical analyses, and regional viewpoints.
We value engagement from our readers and industry peers. Story suggestions, trends, or noteworthy developments submitted to our editorial team are carefully assessed against our content guidelines. Editors evaluate all tips for relevance, newsworthiness, and alignment with our mission before allocating them for further investigation or coverage.
Arquidyne Haus recognises the value of reader participation. We accept original manuscript submissions, opinion pieces, and photographic essays from our audience, subject to editorial review. Our editorial panel reviews all submissions for originality, integrity, and alignment with our mission. Accepted submissions may be subject to editing for clarity, style and factual accuracy. Accepted works are edited in collaboration with the contributor before publication.
Clear guidance on formatting and topic suitability is provided on our
We occasionally publish sponsored content, which is always fully disclosed and labelled as such. Sponsored articles are held to the same editorial standards as all other content, including clear distinction from independent journalism, transparency about sponsorship, and fact-checking. Editorial decisions concerning sponsored content are made independently, and sponsors do not influence our main editorial agenda.
Use of AI
At Arquidyne Haus, we embrace intelligent technologies as tools to support—not replace—editorial judgment and creative input. Our use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transparent and carefully confined to assistive roles.
Permitted uses of AI include:
- Search Engine Optimisation (SEO): AI assists with refining keywords and optimising metadata for discoverability without altering the substance or unique voice of articles.
- Content Planning: AI may be used to generate content briefs, outlines, and summaries to aid preliminary editorial workflow, while all published material is fully drafted and reviewed by human editors.
- Image Captioning: AI platforms may assist in generating initial image captions, which our team subsequently reviews and, where necessary, edits to ensure architectural specificity and contextual accuracy.
- Summarisation: AI may be deployed to create internal summaries or alternative versions of content for different platforms, subject to final human review.
- Other Editorial Assistance: Tasks such as preliminary grammatical, spelling, or style checks may be AI-assisted, but all content is reviewed by a senior editor prior to publication.
AI-generated material is never published as original work, nor is it used to create core editorial content or in-depth features. All facts, technical statements, and quotes sourced or suggested by AI processes are independently verified prior to inclusion in publications.
