Job and Responsibilities

Writers should be open to receiving weekly assignments and coming up with a creative, design-oriented spin on newsworthy events. They should also be able to form and articulate their opinions and commentaries on all things architecture. Enthusiasm to share knowledge about architectural software and design tools is a plus. In short, we are looking for contributors who can take an assignment and run with it and come up with creative pitches that are timely and relevant to our audience.
