Architect’s Journal
www.architectsjournal.co.uk
Though very UK-centric, Architect’s Journal also covers topical subjects on how buildings are becoming more integral to society. They recently covered a symposium in London called Faith in the City, where eight learned speakers presented their points of view on the construction of a mosque near Ground Zero in New York City. Subscription to their magazine gets you monthly deliveries of the physical magazine and full access to their website, which, amongst other things, has oft-updated images of creative architectural photography from around Europe, culled from Flickr.
Weburbanist

Weburbanist has a slew of categories you can get lost in, not least of which is their Architecture section. Whether examining origami-style furniture – that you fold yourself, from sheets of polypropylene plastic – or marvelling at quirky examples of avant-garde staircases from architects around the world – you’ll find something you wish you could integrate into your own home. Since their examples span from across the globe, you’ll find architectural gems of note to visit whenever you’re next travelling, whether it’s “The World’s Most Beautiful Parking” in Detroit or a cloud-shaped rooftop hotel being built in London.
