Use Cases
- Architecture research — analyse global trends in building typology, materials, and sustainable design across thousands of projects
- Real estate intelligence — benchmark residential and commercial projects by size, location, and year
- Academic datasets — build training datasets for architectural AI models linking images to project metadata
- Firm profiling — map a firm's portfolio, geographic reach, and project history
- Market analysis — track which building types and geographies receive the most coverage in international architecture media
Notes
- Images and drawings are classified from filename keywords (supports English, Spanish, Polish, and German drawing names)
- Area is normalised to both sq m and sq ft — if the source uses imperial units, the actor converts automatically
- The scraper paginates through ArchDaily's project listing pages sequentially; use
startPage+endPageto target a specific range - Concurrency is kept low (1 concurrent request, ~3 s between requests) to be a respectful crawling client
