There are quick, rapid-fire entries that can be read in no time and if you are an architecture student – or just curious about being an architecture student – there is a spot where you can send your questions.

Other entries are more akin to professional reactions to his daily experiences as a sole-practitioner architect. Lee writes about his architectural practice, educating future architects, and the cause and effect the two have with one another. Weekly musings from architect and educator Lee Calisiti, Think | Architect is an architectural blog for architects and advanced fans of architecture. I’ve previously written for WiredUK, The Atlantic, The New York Times, and Harvard’s Nieman Journalism Lab, among others, and am an MIT Futures of Entertainment Fellow.”īrain Pickings is a digital curio cabinet of things worth thinking about … but does it belong on a list of the best architectural websites? Maybe … but I don’t know how I could leave it off this list if I’m trying to expose you to what I think is a truly awesome website. But since there are people out there who might not know about Fast Company, I am about to rock your world … or rather, Fast Company will do the rocking.Īll the content on this site is painstakingly assembled and curated by Maria Popova who describes herself in the following manner: “I’m a reader, writer, interestingness hunter-gatherer, and curious mind at large. I almost didn’t put Fast Company on this list because, in my mind, they are such an obvious selection and any designer walking the planet (assuming they have a computer and an internet connection) probably already goes by this site with regularity. The images are crisp and well composed, the content is varied, and there is a stripped away simplicity to the articles they share. This is another website that aggregates content on architecture, interiors, tech, travel, and home. This is one of my favorite lunchtime time-sucks as I am always surprised just how fast my lunch break ends when I’ve been surfing through the digital pages of Colossal. Colossal is also a great place to learn about the intersection of art and science as well as the beauty of the natural world. Each week you’ll find 15-25 posts on photography, design, animation, painting, installation art, architecture, drawing, and street art. So let’s get to it – in no particular order, Life of an Architect’s Favorite Websites for 2015:Ĭolossal began in 2010 as the personal art and design blog of Christopher Jobson. Since I don’t have a blog roll on my site, I am going to put together a yearly list of my favorite websites. Simply sharing a link to someone else’s site isn’t good enough to make this list. If you have a site and can’t be bothered with generating your own content, or adding your voice to the conversation – I’m probably not coming back. I give a lot of credit for effort – both in real life and in my architectural websites. I have removed most aggregate sites from my list for this reason. I don’t particularly care about faceless organizations unless they produce really good content. I prefer to read websites that are written by a person – even better if it’s someone I can relate to on some level.

In my effort to bring you a quality list of architectural websites that should be in your online rotation, I only had three pieces of criteria when cultivating this list: While I am encouraged by the volume of possible websites available to us these days, most of them either flame out in a hurry ( once the owners realize just how much work goes into maintaining a website), or they simply aren’t interesting enough to convince me to visit more than once or twice. I don’t read as many websites as I once did so this list is getting harder and harder to assemble. I will admit that this list is completely biased because what I like might not be what you like ( even though it should be, let’s be honest). my internet explorer history) and peer feedback ( I sent some emails, reviewed suggestions in the comment area, and asked the people in my office) I have created the definitive listing of the Best Architectural Websites in the World for 2015. … or as I call them, my “current favorite websites”, but let’s not split hairs.
