Tonight I was reading information on each architecture firm’s official website, to better prepare for my college report. Outside of the Architects USA website - I was Googling for specific architecture firms by company name, when I discovered Archiplanet. They have one of the longest lists of architecture firms I have found, organized by state and city, e.g., Architecture Firms in Utah. The opening paragraph on their main page states, “Find, browse, read, view, post, and edit the facts, photos, and drawings here on your favorite structures of all kinds, anywhere, from your own cottage to the latest skyscraper to your nation's capitol.”
Archiplanet Highlights:
· "Community-constructed" like Wikipedia
· 118,737 pages
· Viewed more than 76 million times to date
· Thousands of registered contributors
· Several hundred thousand visitors each month
· 100,000 buildings
· 25,000 architects and firms
· Sponsored by ArchitectureWeek

I have many other architecture bookmarks and thought these would be good sites to begin a resource list. I will probably update this blog page with more architecture resources later. I would be interested in your favorite architecture websites, books, and other resources. Please send the URL and tell me about them.
Architecture is a wonderful life.
