Use the Prompt

Prompt
Add Your Brief

Add your context below. It will be included with the prompt when you copy or download.

Create a responsive HTML website using the existing project stack for [PROJECT] and [AUDIENCE]. The task is: Architecture Project Index.

Required content and structure

Organize built work by project type, location and year using photographs at their original proportions.

Use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source of names, dates, figures, claims and destinations. List missing inputs before substituting anything. If a demonstration is needed, label its content as fictional. Do not invent customer quotes, rankings, partner logos or product capabilities.

Design direction

Use [BRAND_RULES] and the design system already selected in the project. If no system is supplied, start with this direction: warm cream, muted olive and terracotta; tactile materials and a calm editorial rhythm. Keep type, spacing and color roles consistent. Prioritize the task over decorative elements and avoid a generic collection of unrelated cards.

Content preparation

Prepare project records with type, location, year, status, image credits and a destination for further detail. Mark proposals and visualizations before placing them among built projects.

Layout and behavior

Let photographs lead while captions make the project's context clear. Keep original image proportions and offer a compact filtering system based on attributes that exist in the records.

Task-specific acceptance check

  • Clearly distinguish built projects from proposals and renderings.
  • Test an unbuilt project, a portrait photograph and several projects with the same name.
  • Readers should be able to distinguish location and status without opening every detail page.

Implementation and review

Keep text editable. Use semantic structure, descriptive controls, visible keyboard focus and appropriate empty/error states. Check narrow and wide layouts. Respect reduced-motion preferences. Preserve any existing project framework and dependencies; do not silently replace the stack. Return the editable files and explain any incomplete behavior or unsupported inputs. Review this specific task before proposing extra features.

Reference attachment and reconstruction goal

Attach reference.webp from this prompt’s download bundle alongside this prompt in OpenDesign. Build an editable result with a similar composition and hierarchy; do not embed the whole reference image as the finished interface. Preserve approved project content and brand rules if they conflict with fictional sample labels. If the image is missing or unreadable, ask for it instead of claiming visual fidelity.

Reference composition and content

Use the attached reference.webp as the visual reference for Architecture Project Index. Before building, identify the major regions from top to bottom, their relative widths and heights, alignment, spacing, typography hierarchy, surface colors, borders, imagery and repeated components. Preserve those relationships rather than substituting a generic template. Required task content: Organize built work by project type, location and year using photographs at their original proportions. Use the following task-specific layout guidance when translating the image into editable elements: Let photographs lead while captions make the project's context clear. Keep original image proportions and offer a compact filtering system based on attributes that exist in the records.

Interaction specification

The reference is a static concept: the behavior below is a requirement to implement, not proof that the picture already works. Copy the customized prompt into your working project. Start with the core task: Organize built work by project type, location and year using photographs at their original proportions. Clearly distinguish built projects from proposals and renderings. For each visible control, specify its trigger, affected state and feedback; implement local changes with consistent state across related views. Give search and filters real results, selection controls an explicit active state, and save actions visible pending/success/failure feedback where relevant. Do not add unrelated workflows. Use proper links for navigation, buttons for actions and accessible names for icon controls. Do not imply a backend operation succeeded when only a local demo changed.

Visual comparison and delivery

  1. Compare the result with the attached image at matching proportions. Review major region placement, relative image sizes, line breaks, spacing, typography hierarchy, contrast, active states and content density before polishing decorative details.
  2. Then test the narrow layout without squeezing desktop text into tiny labels.
  3. Keep logos, photos and icons as separate assets and all meaningful labels editable. List any unavailable fonts/assets and any intentional departures. Return the working files plus a concise account of implemented behavior and remaining integrations; do not promise a pixel-identical result from the prompt alone.

How to Write an Architecture Project Index Design Prompt

Use this architecture project index design prompt to organize built work by project type, location and year using photographs at their original proportions.

The reference is an AI-generated concept. The instructions below describe what to build and test; the image does not demonstrate working behavior.

Make Project Status Visible Beside Photography

An architecture index is both a visual portfolio and a factual record.

AI-generated visual concept for architecture project index
Architecture Project Index — compare the overall hierarchy with the layout instructions below.

Photographs and renderings can look equally finished, so built work, proposals and visualizations need explicit status labels. Let photographs lead while captions make the project's context clear. Keep original image proportions and offer a compact filtering system based on attributes that exist in the records.

From the Prompt

Let photographs lead while captions make the project's context clear.

Make It Your Own

Use [PROJECT_RECORDS] with type, location, year and status. Keep those labels beside original-proportion images and filter only by attributes present in the records.

Prepare the Architecture Project Index Content

Project type, location and year filters sit above the work grid alongside search and view controls. Supply consistent values for every project so these controls can filter real records.

Prepare project records with type, location, year, status, image credits and a destination for further detail. Mark proposals and visualizations before placing them among built projects.

From the Prompt

Organize built work by project type, location and year using photographs at their original proportions.

Make It Your Own

For [PROJECT], use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source for this architecture project index. Prepare project records with type, location, year, status, image credits and a destination for further detail. Mark proposals and visualizations before placing them among built projects. Identify missing inputs before replacing them with demonstration content.

Test Ambiguous Project Names

Each image has a project title and compact location, discipline or year information beneath it. Preserve these captions at narrow widths and ensure each project opens its own destination.

Show two projects with the same name and one unbuilt proposal. Location and status should distinguish them without requiring a detail-page visit. Test an unbuilt project, a portrait photograph and several projects with the same name. Readers should be able to distinguish location and status without opening every detail page.

From the Prompt

Clearly distinguish built projects from proposals and renderings.

Make It Your Own

Review the architecture project index against this requirement: Clearly distinguish built projects from proposals and renderings. Test an unbuilt project, a portrait photograph and several projects with the same name. Readers should be able to distinguish location and status without opening every detail page. Preserve approved content and revise only the parts that fail this check.

Review Your Architecture Project Index Result

Generated copy, routes and visual structure require review. Do not connect real forms, payments or external services without implementing and testing those flows.

  • Test an unbuilt project, a portrait photograph and several projects with the same name. Readers should be able to distinguish location and status without opening every detail page.

Follow-Up Prompt

Use this after the first result. It narrows the revision to the most important part of this task.

Refine the current architecture project index. Test an unbuilt project, a portrait photograph and several projects with the same name. Readers should be able to distinguish location and status without opening every detail page. Preserve the approved content and visual direction; change only the parts needed to resolve these issues.
