Editorial Policy
Learn Architecture Online is an independent architecture publication and learning platform. This page explains the standards behind everything we publish: who writes it, how we check it, and how readers can hold us accountable. These principles apply to all editorial content across the site.
Our editorial mission
We cover architecture projects, design ideas, tools, education, careers and news for students, practitioners and enthusiasts. Our goal is to publish accurate, useful and original coverage, analysis and curation you cannot get from a press release alone.
Editorial independence
Editorial decisions are made by our editorial team, free from the influence of advertisers, sponsors or commercial partners. Sponsorship never buys favourable coverage, and commercial relationships are always disclosed (see Sponsored content below).
Author expertise and vetting
Our articles are written and edited by a named team with formal qualifications in architecture and related fields. Every author has a public profile listing their role, credentials, alma mater and areas of expertise, with links to their professional profiles. We attribute content to real people, not anonymous bylines, so readers can judge the expertise behind what they read.
Accuracy and fact-checking
We verify project details, the architect, location, year, programme and key facts, against primary sources before publishing. Where information is incomplete or disputed, we say so rather than guess.
Sourcing and citations
We credit the architects, studios, photographers and original sources behind every project, and link to authoritative external references where relevant. Images are used with attribution to their rightful owners.
Use of AI
Editorial content is created and reviewed by our human editorial team. Any assistive tools are used only under human supervision; we do not publish unreviewed machine-generated articles, and editorial responsibility always rests with a named editor.
Corrections and updates
If you spot an error, email us at [email protected] and we will review it promptly. Significant articles are updated when facts change, and the publication date reflects the latest substantive revision.
Sponsored content and affiliate disclosure
Some posts are sponsored or contain affiliate links, from which we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Such links are marked accordingly, and sponsored placements are identified as such. This support helps keep our core coverage free.
