What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

The Architect Pitch – Crossing Boundaries

Seven architects pitched problem-solving and entrepreneurial ideas to a panel comprising Usman Haque, founder of Umbrellium, David Weatherhead, design principal with HOK’s London Studio, Savannah de Savray, founder of Built-ID, Nick Searl, a partner in Argent Related and Safia Qureshi, founder of CupClub.

The panel was looking for self-generated projects that have the potential to develop into feasible solutions, from low-cost housing and ideas on how retail property can be recycled to one-off projects that have community or healthy living benefits.

As with previous pitches, architects had just three minutes to present, after which the panel gave their feedback and a winner was announced.

The architects were Amos Goldreich Architecture, Gbolade Design Studio,Miller Howard Workshop, HTA Design, Studio Bark, Turner.Works and Unknown Works.

Archiboo founder Amanda Baillieu said: “With this pitch architects showed how practices can move outside traditional roles through startup projects”.

Archiboo is grateful to HOK London for supporting this initiative.
