Mycelium Data Storage Debuts at Parsons School of Design Show

This post explains a common situation readers and editors encounter when a news article — in this case an item from Dezeen — cannot be retrieved by an automated system.

I’ll outline why access failures occur and how to supply content for accurate summaries.

Based on three decades in architecture and engineering communications, I’ll share what to include so a short SEO-friendly summary or blog post can be produced quickly and well.

Why an article might be inaccessible to an automated retriever

Automated systems often fail to fetch content for a few predictable reasons.

The source may block bots, paywalls can prevent access, URL changes might break links, or network issues and timeouts can occur.

From an industry communications perspective, these failures are routine.

They are avoidable if authors and editors understand the constraints and prepare text accordingly.

When I can’t access the original article, I can still help — but I need key pieces of the story provided directly.

Below I explain exactly what makes a good, concise source submission for architecture and engineering topics.

What to paste or attach to get a high-quality summary

To turn a full article into an accurate, SEO-optimized blog post, provide the clearest possible input.

At minimum, include the headline, lede paragraph, and any passages that describe design intent, materials, structural systems, sustainability claims, client and design team names, and project timelines.

If available, include quotes and image captions.

Essential elements you should paste or attach for the fastest turnaround:

  • Headline and subhead (if present)
  • First two paragraphs (the lede)
  • Key descriptive paragraphs about form, materials, and engineering
  • Names of the architect, engineers, client, and location
  • Project status (concept, under construction, complete) and timeline
  • Any quoted statements or technical performance claims
  • How I convert supplied text into a concise, SEO-friendly blog post

    When you provide the elements above, I focus on extracting the most newsworthy points and shaping them into an accessible narrative.

    My approach balances technical accuracy with readability.

    Key optimization steps include identifying target keywords and creating a clear narrative arc (what, why, how, who).

    I also highlight measurable facts or striking visuals that motivate clicks and shares.

    Editorial checklist for architecture and engineering pieces

    Use this checklist when preparing content to paste:

  • Confirm the project name and location are accurate and consistent.
  • Include at least one clear quote from the design team or client.
  • List materials and key structural systems. For example, cross-laminated timber or post-tensioned concrete.
  • Clarify sustainability metrics if claimed. For instance, include energy performance or embodied carbon figures.
  • Attach image captions and photographer credits where possible.
  • Pro tip: If you can’t paste the full article for copyright reasons, use a 200–400 word excerpt that covers the facts above. This is usually enough for a concise, 500–700 word blog post that ranks well for specific queries.
