About

Architravels is a Melbourne-based editorial platform focussing on sustainable architecture, innovative design and the places where new ideas about the built environment are taking shape.

"We are drawn to purposeful work, projects that question the dominant narratives of architectural practice, engage honestly with contemporary issues, rather than looking past them and propose design as a genuine response."

Founded by Taïma Matthes, the editorial brings together her expertise in architectural design and digital media. Architravels selectively curates work across material experimentation, emerging technologies, nature-informed and more-than-human design, climate-conscious practice, and spaces that consider human wellbeing alongside the health of the ecosystems they inhabit. Through its editorial platform, Architravels aspires to give greater visibility to ideas and practices contributing to a more considered future for the built environment.

Beyond publishing, Architravels is a growing community of architects, designers, artists, makers and cultural institutions, connected through editorial features, curated experiences and events.
