The #archisteem Initiative
1 What is Archisteem?
Archisteem will be a new tag that is to curate our existing built environment and also future built environment development.
In this 21st century, we are considered lucky to be in this era. Why? As most of us are able to enjoy the accessibility and comfort that the infrastructure, built environment and technology had to bring to us. Imagine that we are living in the 18th century whereby we are depending on a horse carriage, it was very hard for us to travel and not affordable for all. Then, to the industrialization era (early stage) whereby the pollution of that time was insane due to the use of coal to produce energy. Now, we are able to breathe while enjoying the cleaner version of the technology that had evolved through time and effort from our ancestors. Besides, most of us now are able to afford the traveling, owning a decent home (or renting) and possess the certain freedom to enjoy the world. Thus, as a beneficiary of this era, we should share our precious idea, experience, thoughts and a personal contribution that makes the future a better place.
This is an initiative that will be led by 3 architecture practitioners, who are @kimzwarch, @cklai and @funtraveller. We are aiming to make this tag one of the impactful and educative which benefits others and spread the ideology of make our future a better place to live in. We do realize that tag like #architecture and #architecturephotography are widely utilized by the current community. However, most of them are mostly posting images and writings about architectural buildings.
The Difference we want to make is to create an interactive community that not only discusses about the betterment of our future but also transform the idea into real projects. Through #archisteem, we aim to nurture different projects that could physically impact the community, especially the local community.
We welcome all the enthusiasts to use the tag and together we shall make the tag one of the top used tag.
1 What it stands for?
Archisteem aims to achieve these:
- To use perceive the built environment around us.
- To empower architecture and engineering professionals and amateurs for their works and ideas.
- To form a brand that promotes the ideology of making the future a better place.
2 What kind of contents you can use the tag?
a. Real/existing projects
Source
Projects that were built that you admired and wanted to curate about it. Feel free to do so. If you find any interesting buildings or projects online, you can curate and tell us why it is so attractive to the community, impactful and interesting to you. The project can be anywhere in the world, around you or even your house!
b. Conceptual projects
Source
When talking about conceptual and idea, it is referring to projects that are not built yet. It can be a proposal or even fictional projects (like the architectural setting in movies). The conceptual projects have more freedom in terms of design and expression as there are little restrictions. A great piece of concept should be curated and be known to a larger community. Use your creativity to curate those ideas and spread the essence of it to a larger audience. Not to forget, if you have your own unrealized projects, you can share them too as they are considered conceptual and ideas! We never know that if someone out there is interested to know more about it and help you to realize it.
c. Thoughts/idea about our built and living environment
Source
This will be a general topic whereby anyone can share their views, thoughts and ideas on topics that relate to the built environment. For example, the place you are living in has great infrastructure like linked train system that brings access to the people. Share your thoughts about this observation and maybe you can even suggest more ideas for the stakeholders to improve the system. We always believe that a small idea can always have a big impact. We appreciate and embrace every small idea.
Other examples like if you read about news that discusses local economy. Then, you have an idea to improve the situation through some project integration like improve the market facility or improve the road infrastructure. You can write it out and share your idea with the community. As long as it is related to our built environment.
d. Related technology
Source
This will include the technology behind any software and hardware that are related to architecture and engineering which can impact our built environment. Prominent projects like the Boring company’s work, Hyperloop Transportation can be the topic and you can express how you think the projects can impact the world. In terms of software, it can be the BIM software that is slowly replacing the old draughtsmen design and build process or some smart AI software that can assist us in our home.
In this category, you can share from different perspectives of technology like through:
- Introduction
- Tutorial
- Comparison
- And etc
As long as you have something to say about the technology, you are welcome to contribute.
e. Community works
Source
For this category, you can share the community works that you are involved in that can relate to the betterment of the built environment, physically and spiritually.
This can be through labour work which you are contributing your energy and time to a new home for the less fortunate. Or it can be some sharing session that you involve that spread knowledge that relates to the betterment of the built environment.
This category is what makes us wanted to establish this #archisteem the most which we are deeply inspired by @sndbox's initiative to set up Steem park. It will be awesome to put our design and professional skills to use this platform.
Here is the recent update from them.
3 Benefits of using the tag:
- Able to collect all the contents and form a brand “#archisteem” that resemble the future generation’s voice for the betterment of the future living environment.
- Able to gain support from other communities (currently at an early stage and in need of support and prove of concept before we can get the needed support). As of now, as the leaders for this tag, we will do our best to support all the contributors.
- There is more excitement coming soon for this tag, so please help us to build up the tag reputation and together we grow and make an impact.

Hello, I'm new to steemit and discovered this post while learning to navigate through the site. Just wanted to say that this is a very promising community, great way to network and learn from others.
I'm currently in a 2 year graduate program for architecture and plan to post/share my studies as well as other content pertaining to this community. Feel free to follow!
That will be great @alex.sanchez. The team looks forward to your #archisteem post.
It is great community. I will follow and try to contribute the tag. I think it will grow rapidly!
Sure thing, I look forward to your updates!
It will be a great instrument to let architecture lovers meet each other and support! writing some architecture posts i'll be pleased to write it in english too using archisteem tag!
Great, #archisteem gonna be a hub for the enthusiasts as well as the professionals. Hope that through here all of us can exchange ideas and make dreams real. Just use the tag and I will drop by :) hope to see ur write up soon
im a architechture student. i follow you. just come to my blog.
Sure, feel free to use this tag when you share the contents that are related. We will drop by and support too :)
yaaa. i will use that tag when i share conthents who relate. #archisteem
Cool, thanks for your support!
ur welcome. :)
Very interesting post ,,,
thanks for spreading the word.
You are welcome 😊
@originalworks
It will going to be a great community and I believe the tag could add additional value or purpose to Steemit too. great work and thanks for sharing.
Ya, you are part of it too! haha.
Well written bro, let's keep it going! All the best for #archisteem!
Alright, #archisteem the way!
brillian ! going to have a lot of creative minds and designs for archisteem tags !! thanks for starting this up !
Yay, it will be a long journey though but an exciting one! Will keep in touch :)
Thanks for the advice and suggestion too!
Fantastic initiative @kimzwarch @cklai and @funtraveller. The Steem blockchain is such a powerful tool for architects and designers to embrace. Let's go #archisteem team!
Agreed on that fully @sndbox! I’m so excited to have your support. Just know that Michael and Kirk are architects! Awesome :)
There’s just so many possibilities for Steem blockchain to help different group of people, this includes architects and designers. Likewise, we want to use this platform to elevate the professionals’ channel of expressing their creativity and to be impactful as well to their local community (as most of the time, we have ideas and thoughts but lack of capability to bring people and funding together). Steem can solve both of these problems. Really look forward to see how this tag will evolve.
love the city also u could use projector systems 2 make the underground appear as if ur above ground!
Wanna make sure u have some ventaliation holes space perodcially for that underground streets.
although thing is we already have anti-gravity vechile tech SO HELLO NO NEED FOR ROADS LMAO!
Haha, underground tunnels do have their own mechanical ventilation system. Like how Elon Musk put it, traffic congestion in cities will only be solved through tunnels. That’s why I have faith in that too. While ground level streets should be for the people and not the machines.
yo u guys into energineering fire shit i got a post i did about a free energy device i know 4 certain works! id be happy 2 help u build 1 others already have. https://steemit.com/free/@krystal-paws/essassani-space-time-antenna-infinty-higher-vibrational-energy
Pretty insane concept u have there. If you can quantify the energy and record it down systematically, that will be awesome :)
Can I use the tag for future developments
Ya sure! Looking forward to see the growth of your development projects.
This is such a good idea. I blog about architectural concepts and will use the tag. Looking forward to meeting new archinerds through the archisteem tag. :D
Yup, that’s one of the main purpose for establishing this tag. Let’s make this happen together :)
Hi @kimzwarch I shared my first post with #archisteem tag. Could you check?
Ya, sure!
