## What is World Architecture Atlas?

Architecture Atlas is an offline-first guide to world architecture: searchable, cross-linked, and designed for close reading.

Follow 14 chronological chapters to see why architecture changed across eras. Compare 34 style traditions across regions, materials, structures, institutions, and everyday life. Explore 108 architects and studios, 495 representative works, and 12 thematic journeys that connect events happening across the world.

SIX WAYS TO EXPLORE

• History — Trace how technology, belief, power, climate, and daily life reshaped space.
• Styles — Compare spatial ideas, structural logic, material language, and sensory experience.
• Architects — Read profiles in the context of careers, debates, influences, and resistance.
• Journeys — Follow questions that cross periods and regions instead of stopping at a timeline.
• Search — Find works, people, styles, places, materials, original names, and editorial terms.
• Library — Keep a personal collection and optionally unlock the complete atlas permanently.

ILLUSTRATED AND TRACEABLE

The bundled archive includes 328 illustrated work groups and 353 media records. Documentary photography includes source and license credits. AI-generated illustrations and original analytical visuals are identified and are not presented as field photography, archival documents, measured drawings, or construction records.

FREE APP, OPTIONAL LIFETIME UNLOCK

The app, catalogs, search, personal collections, publication and rights information, and selected complete samples remain free. A voluntary US$9.99 one-time purchase permanently unlocks the remaining long-form chapters, profiles, work readings, and thematic essays. This is a non-consumable purchase with no subscription period and no automatic renewal. The App Store purchase sheet shows the final price for your storefront. Apple processes purchases, restoration, and refund requests.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

No account is required. The app contains no advertising, analytics SDK, or cross-app tracking. Personal collections and reading data remain on your device. The core archive works offline; external source and policy links open only when you choose them.
