This online magazine, which is updated every week, has reviews of interesting architectural projects, such as the Ferrari Museum in Modena, Italy, the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science in Florida, USA and the Barnes Foundation Building in Philadelphia. The photographs on arcspace.com are really excellent and give amazing insight into why these buildings being reviewed are cutting edge. Included in the articles are full plans, and lists of companies who worked on each building.
The site also has a list of current exhibitions around the world, a listing of recommended reading (in the Bookcase section), and a list of recommended hotels to stay in when you are visiting cities such as Copenhagen, New Orleans, or Beijing. All sections an architecture fan should visit before planning their next vacation.
