Most cities build barriers between people and the ocean. Copenhagen built an invitation. In our latest Archi-Expedition, we take a deep dive into how the Danish capital transformed its heavily polluted, industrial maritime roots into a global benchmark for urban liveability.

Tokyo is a global playground for cutting-edge architecture, where world-renowned design and structural innovation meet on every corner. However, navigating the city’s dense visual landscape without a clear plan means it’s all too easy to walk right past masterpiece structures without even realizing it. The Challenge of Exploring Tokyo's Built Environment Discovering architecture in a fast-paced metropolis requires more than just a standard map. Designed spaces demand intentional observation—capturing scale, materials, structural details, and the unique atmosphere of each site. Carrying cumbersome guidebooks or constantly pulling out a smartphone screen often takes away from the experience of being fully present in the space. Designed for Architects, Designers, and Urban Explorers To solve this, Archwalks created the Tokyo Must-See Architecture Checklist Notebook —a streamlined physical companion tailored specifically for design enthusi...

In high-end spatial design and visualization, technical precision is everything. We spend hours refining lighting setups, structural details, and material realism. Yet, when it comes to the business side of running a practice, critical terms often get overlooked in standard email quotes. The result is a familiar pattern: endless revision rounds, clients requesting raw 3D models (.max, .rvt, .skp) without extra fees, and delayed final payments. Financial loss and project friction rarely happen during the final rendering or drafting stage. They happen at the very beginning—when the quote is sent without clear project boundaries. To protect your studio’s time and profit margins, every proposal requires a quick operational audit before it goes out to a client. Key Operational Risks in Architectural, Design & Visualization Practice When taking on new commissions, missing specific terms in your initial agreement creates immediate vulnerabilities: Unlimited Rivisions & C...
