Form & Field Architecture Journal

Form & Field is an architecture blog template for publications that explain how buildings and spaces work. A large opening image leads into a featured story, a horizontal selection of articles and a browsable archive. The layout gives photographs room without pushing the writing into the background.

The sample edition contains thirteen original design studies across Housing, Interiors, Materials, Cities, Landscape and Practice. The projects, imagery and contributors are illustrative, giving you a complete collection to replace with your own reporting, photographs and credits.

Best use cases

Architecture practices. Publish project notes and explain decisions that a portfolio photograph cannot show, from an entrance arrangement to the repair of an existing building.

Independent writers and editors. Bring reviews, interviews and design commentary together in a journal with clear bylines and room for several contributors.

Students and researchers. Present design studies, field observations and questions in a consistent format, with the status and sources of each piece made clear.

Local design publications. Build a collection around the buildings, streets or public spaces your readers know.

Features

A homepage with several routes into the writing. Lead with one story, browse the horizontal gallery with touch or arrow controls, and highlight four pieces in the Opinions section. Six subject filters organise the remaining archive.

Thirteen full article pages. Each story has its own address, cover image, caption, date and calculated reading time. Contributor biographies and three related stories follow the text. Readers can copy the current link or share it through Twitter and LinkedIn.

People and publication pages. About introduces four sample contributors. Contact, FAQ, Privacy and Terms have their own pages, so information about the journal stays separate from the article collection.

Light, dark and automatic themes. Readers can choose an appearance or follow their system setting. The choice is saved in their browser. Responsive layouts and smaller image files adapt the journal to phones, with keyboard controls for the menu and story gallery.

Contact enquiries in your own database. Connect Supabase through Mythos and apply the included contact setup to save names, email addresses and messages. The form validates entries and distinguishes a missing connection from a failed submission. It does not send email notifications or include an editor’s inbox.

Search and sharing metadata. All nineteen pages are rendered as readable HTML, alongside a custom not-found page. Individual titles, descriptions, sharing images and article structured data are included. Set the final domain and enable indexing to generate canonical URLs and a sitemap.
