About The Position

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for architecture professionals with strong expertise in building design, architectural documentation, visual interpretation, and technical reasoning. This role supports a research project focused on evaluating complex visual and document-based tasks within the architecture domain. Selected experts will create rigorous, professionally grounded assignments based on architectural materials, define clear expected outputs, and develop objective evaluation criteria.

Requirements

Professional background in Architecture, Architectural Design, Building Design, or a closely related discipline
Strong ability to interpret architectural drawings, plans, sections, elevations, and technical documentation
Practical understanding of building design and professional architectural workflows
Strong visual reasoning and attention to detail
Ability to create challenging, well-defined technical problems with objective answers
Excellent written communication and ability to explain architectural reasoning clearly
Comfortable working independently within structured research guidelines
Must be based in the United States or Canada
Must not use confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, institution, or other third party

Nice To Haves

Experience developing technical assessments, educational materials, evaluation criteria, or similar structured content is advantageous

Responsibilities

Create complex, realistic tasks grounded in professional architecture workflows
Develop assignments involving building design, architectural drawings, plans, diagrams, and related visual materials
Ensure tasks require meaningful architectural judgement and domain knowledge
Define clear and objectively verifiable expected outputs
Design problems that reflect realistic professional scenarios rather than generic visual exercises
Develop tasks requiring careful analysis of architectural drawings and visual documentation
Interpret plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules, and related building-design materials
Identify relevant spatial, dimensional, structural, and functional information
Create questions that require accurate reasoning across multiple visual sources
Ensure task requirements remain grounded in the supplied architectural documentation
Apply professional knowledge of architectural design principles and building organisation
Develop tasks involving spatial relationships, circulation, programme, layout, and design intent
Incorporate realistic constraints and architectural decision-making
Evaluate whether proposed outputs are consistent with the underlying drawings and specifications
Distinguish technically grounded conclusions from unsupported assumptions
Produce authoritative reference answers for each assigned task
Establish clear ground truth based on the architectural source materials
Verify that expected outputs are accurate, complete, and reproducible
Document the reasoning and evidence supporting each reference answer
Resolve ambiguity before tasks progress to final evaluation
Write objective rubrics defining the requirements for a successful response
Identify critical elements that must appear in a correct solution
Distinguish substantive architectural errors from minor presentation differences
Refine tasks and rubrics to improve clarity, difficulty, and evaluation reliability
Maintain consistent standards across the dataset
