Skip to content Architects are the designers who not only create buildings, but also gardens and ultimately streets and entire landscapes. In other words, architects are the makers who help determine what our world looks like. Accordingly, there are quite a number of architects who also present their works online, as they are either employed in an architect's office or even self-employed and sole traders. Regardless of whether they are employed in an architect's office or self-employed, it is not uncommon for their works and the office itself to be presented on the WWW. For this purpose there is even a suitable domain extension - namely .archi. This is a generic top-level domain for architects.
Allocation
The domain extension .archi is assigned by the registry Starting Dot Ltd. Its headquarters are located in Paris, France. This is a business domain extension. This means that this domain extension is primarily intended for architects who are self-employed or run a larger office. This also means that the domain extension .archi is only intended for a selected professional group. The person who wants to register a domain with this ending must assure the registry that he is indeed an architect and that he has the necessary qualifications or licenses. Proof can also be provided of memberships and licences, in order to secure legitimacy for the registration for this professional group.
Use and meaning
In Germany alone there are quite a few architects. And worldwide, of course, there are many more architects. The domain extension can also stand as an abbreviation for architect. And this makes the domain extension .archi a very good tool to advertise. Because on the web pages of architects also references of the architects are set, which are for these a very good capital and free advertisement. In this way, the domain extension can also lead to the fact that otherwise hardly any advertising must be done, that very many customers simply get to the architect's website via the WWW and can see without further inquiry what great projects the architect has already completed. The meaning of this domain extension, which is generally understandable and self-explanatory, can therefore be free advertising.
The top-level domain .archi is for selected professional groups and places special requirements on the registrant. By submitting an application, the registrant assures that he has the required qualifications, licenses, memberships and credentials. The applicant must provide supporting documentation upon request by the registrar or registry. The domain extension is only available to architects and architectural firms. To register an .ARCHI domain, the registrant must meet at least one of the following criteria: - Be an individual professional architect or architectural firm registered as a member of a member section of the Union Internationale des Architectes (UIA) (i.e., either a member section or a section of an allied member of the UIA, as defined in Section II.3 of the UIA Bylaws). For the current list of UIA Member Sections and Allied Member Section, see the What is UIA? section of the UIA website at www.uia- architectes.org); or- an architecture-related organization (such as schools, museums, professional media, etc.) that is included on a specific list defined by APAC (i.e., Archi Policy Advisory Committee, which is the oversight and regulatory body of the .ARCHI domain) in collaboration with UIA and UIA Member Sections and available on the Registry's website.
