Christele Harrouk is a French-Lebanese architect, urban designer, and Editor-in-Chief of ArchDaily. With over a decade of editorial experience, she explores architectural and urban narratives and amplifies underrepresented voices and geographies, all while contributing to global architectural discourse. Her work focuses on making architectural knowledge more accessible, fostering broader conversations, and critically engaging with the future of the field.

We talk about:

- Christele’s career journey and how feeling like she didn’t quite fit within traditional practice led her to experiment with careers in architecture, writing, and even fashion and how those roles eventually led her to her impactful job at ArchDaily.

- In regards to her career, we talk about being an “Architect who writes” rather than just a journalist and why careers in editing, curation, and research are just as much a part of the profession as those who build.

- We discuss more about ArchDaily’s content curation; how they sort through thousands of project submissions and what ultimately influences the people and projects they choose to highlight.

- We also talk about content overload and social media, and why ArchDaily is focusing on value rather than short lived trends and algorithms.

- We end by talking about Christele’s perspective on emerging professionals, student competitions, and technology in the profession.
