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 + endPage to target a specific range
  • Concurrency is kept low (1 concurrent request, ~3 s between requests) to be a respectful crawling client
