Plotline
Stop hunting through Dezeen and AJ archives. Plotline turns a curated set of major architecture and urban design projects into living visual timelines: renders, planning approvals, construction milestones, and the people behind them.
Architecture enthusiasts and urban design hobbyists who follow major projects from concept to completion
- Live project timelines with renders, plans, and photos at each approval stage
- Plain-language 'why this matters' briefs on each project's design innovations and controversies
- Saved-project digests when a project you follow reaches a new milestone
- Curator profiles so you can follow specific architects (e.g. Allies and Morrison) across all their projects
Major urban regeneration projects like the 40ha Ookwemin Minising scheme win approval and then vanish from the news cycle; fans have no single place to track them from concept to ribbon-cutting.
Google Trends source ('toronto island' 100+ CA searches) is a place/tourism term, not a signal of urban-regeneration project tracking demand; ArchDaily (~3.9M/mo) and Dezeen (~2.3M/mo) confirm a large news-reading base, but no search evidence people actively seek timeline-style tracking.dezeen.com Website Traffic, Rankings & Analytics Report May 2026 ↗archdaily.com Website Traffic, Rankings & Analytics Report May 2026 ↗
ArchDaily, Dezeen, Architizer and Designboom are all news-feed style with no curated project timeline product; B2B results are project-management tools for architects, not enthusiast-facing trackers — clearly open lane.ArchDaily | Broadcasting Architecture Worldwide ↗Architizer: Inspiration and Tools for Architects ↗
Architecture enthusiasts expect free Dezeen/ArchDaily content; no comparable paid subscription product surfaced, and niche Patreon examples skew toward creators, not passive tracking apps.Patreon Communities Thrive in 2026: Why Niche Matters ↗
Major regeneration projects span years to decades (good for revisit traffic), but content must be continuously curated as milestones occur — mixed long-term utility.
No hard technical barriers, but content is heavy: each project needs sourced renders, planning approvals and milestones; scraping Dezeen/AJ archives risks TOS issues and is labour-intensive.
